Witnesses need more practice than attorneys have time to give

Many smaller cases move forward with little or no formal witness training. Where prep does happen, a few things get in the way:

Rehearsal is billed at attorney rates

Every practice run needs an attorney in the room, so each extra run adds hours to the bill.

Witnesses get fewer runs than they need

Cost and calendars limit how often a witness can practice, so many reach the deposition under-rehearsed.

Small habits are hard to catch live.

A shaky voice or a fleeting facial micro-expression is easy to miss while you’re focused on the questions, but it stands out on a deposition video.

Progress is hard to track.

Comparing a witness’s first session to their tenth usually means relying on memory and scattered notes.

More practice for the witness. More insights for the attorney.

Your hours go to strategy instead of rehearsal.

Witnesses rehearse on their own, without needing an attorney in the room for every run.

Your witness practices as often as needed.

Practice isn’t limited by your calendar, so the real deposition isn’t the first time through the questions.

You see where delivery needs work

Insights after each session point to what needs attention, while there is still time to improve it.

You see the improvement.

From the first session to the tenth, deciding when a witness is ready rests on more than memory and notes

How it works

  1. Build prep from your case

    Add the case material, and each witness gets questions made for their deposition.

  2. Match the examiner

    Choose how opposing counsel is likely to question, so the witness practices against that style.

  3. Let each witness rehearse the way they need

    Some witnesses practice with feedback on how they answered and try again. Others sit in a mock deposition with no feedback, so you see how they hold up on their own.

  4. Know where to focus

    Insights after every session show where each witness needs work and how they are improving.

What happens after each session

After a practice session

Nothing is kept. No video, no audio, no transcript. Only the number of questions answered is saved, so you can see the progress.

After a mock deposition

The recording is saved in your account, so you can watch it back.
