Exercises
Before employing these exercises, a few caveats...
◗ Pick and choose which exercises you believe will best serve your attorneys.
◗ Feel free to change, augment, or refine any aspect of any of the exercises to best serve your attorneys
◗ Create a supportive environment for your attorneys to participate in the exercises.
◗ Spread out the exercises over several weeks or even several months. You shouldn’t teach all these skills all at once. Your attorneys won’t retain it all.
◗ For each training sessions, group several related exercises, and run through them consecutively.
◗ Appreciate that there is no substitute for doing when it comes to learning. That’s the purpose of these exercises – learning through doing. The idea of doing exercises and drills may seem odd, even childish to some, but they provide a practical, hands on way to learn deposition skills.
