Episode 5 - "Legal Contention" Questions in Depositions

"Legal contention" questions have been widely ruled objectionable in depositions. But what are they? What should you be listening for in order to spot them? Why is it okay to ask them in interrogatories, but not in depositions? In this podcast, we explain what a legal contention question is, why it's objectionable in deposition, and how to recognize one. (They're very commonly asked, but many lawyers let them slip by without objection.) It's a topic that has proven elusive, and more than a little confusing, to both lawyers and judges. We clear it up.
