deposition (Removal)
Deposition (Removal) refers to the legal process where a witness provides sworn testimony outside of the courtroom. This testimony is recorded and can be used later in a trial. It allows both parties in a legal case to gather information and understand the evidence before the trial begins.
During a deposition, attorneys from both sides can ask questions to the witness, who is usually under oath. The process is often conducted in a lawyer's office and is typically transcribed by a court reporter. This method is crucial for building a case and preparing for potential courtroom proceedings.
