To: All Staff Attorneys Subject: Depositions and Their Use A friend sent me the following portion of a transcript, which was confirmed with one of the counsel involved (Ms. Olschner) and subsequently posted on Lexis Counsel Connect. The transcript is from Birmingham, Alabama, although the use of a deposition of a party opponent 'for any purpose' is also in the federal rules. We have no word on what had happened immediately prior to this exchange: The Court: Next witness. Ms. Olschner: Your Honor, at this time I would like to swat Mr. Buck in the head with his client's deposition. The Court: You mean read it? Ms. Olschner: No, sir. I mean to swat him [in] the head with it. Pursuant to Rule 32, I may use the deposition 'for any purpose' and that is the purpose for which I want to use it. The Court: Well, it does say that. (Pause.) The Court: There being no objection, you may proceed. Ms. Olschner: Thank you, Judge Hanes. (Whereupon Ms. Olschner swatted Mr. Buck in the head with a deposition.) Mr. Buck: But Judge... The Court: Next witness. Mr. Buck: We object. The Court: Sustained. Next witness. Did you enjoy this joke? Please share it!              Trackback(0)
