After shooting thousands of depositions, I've seen everything.
Attorneys whisper the secret to their case to their assistant, simultaneously putting it on the video record.
An attorney won't turn off his cell phone so his case-making questions are sometimes scored with his dark dancefloor ringtone.
Or an attorney who's charming in person refuses to wear his mic so everything he says sounds like he's using the phone in the holding cell at County.
A clattery necklace that draws attention to an abyssal cleavage, also adds the sound of an earthquake to her objections.
The encouraging thing is that younger attorneys know they need this little bootcamp to get it all right. Older attorneys have unknown unknowns, alas.
