I have done exactly 2 civil depositions in the past 10 years. Swearing the witness's is usually all that is required. An interesting note on New York State Law.
"A notary public may administer an oath or take an affidavit or acknowledgement on Sunday. However, a deposition cannot be taken on Sunday."
It is my understanding (from asking the County Clerk) that the above applies to a Civil Deposition - criminal related depositions are permitted on Sunday - Police activity? Not sure........

Most times the stenographer is a notary, authorized to swear in the deponent. However, in the instances of remote depositions (via teleconference) a notary public may be called in to meet with the deponent, identify the person and swear them in at the beginning of the conference call. The deposition can then proceed and the notary's job is usually done at that point.
Depending on state procedure for depositions, in some states after the deposition is transcribed, the deponent has the opportunity to review the transcript and make corrections as to spelling, etc (not to testimony given)...the deponent then signs the transcript and his/her signature is notarized.

This involves more often than not an attorney. A deposition is an out of court testimony that is reduced to writing. Back in the day, I used to sit in on quite a few depositions taking notes. There is generally a court stenographer present.

| Has anyone done a deposition? They are an official notary act in most or all states. However, I have never heard of a notary doing one. I believe it involves filling out quite a bit of paperwork for the client and then having them swear an oath regarding the paperwork. Does this involve stenography or court reporting skills? If anyone knows, please let us know. |
