Press Play: Getting the Most Out of Deposition Video in Litigation

Video depositions are one of the most powerful and most underused tools in a litigator's arsenal. Deposition video is expensive to order and easy to forget about. But what if there was a quick and easy way to turn it into a strategic advantage?

In this session, attorney and law professor Joe Stephens gave a practical look at how to get maximum strategic value from deposition video, from the moment you schedule the depo to the moment you play a clip in front of a jury.

Joe made the case for ordering video for every significant deposition, then walked through a live demonstration of how Steno's Text-to-Video Sync and Clip Cutting tools make the entire workflow faster, simpler, and more effective, all without ever leaving Transcript Genius.
