Cops and corrections officers don’t know when to stop talking, especially the men, especially when it means preening in front of a silly little girl lawyer. Let them talk - they’ll usually say something stupid/great for you if you give them enough rope.
So, I am becoming a fan of using AI putting in the scenario with fact names, if needed, and just using it for idea and jumping off points. Do not rely on it solely.
Policies & procedures in place, what was followed & wasn’t, what paperwork was filled out, what wasn’t & why. Good luck!
Not sure if this would be applicable to your case, but I always used to bring a printed copy of any local rules relevant to depositions and privileged documents/clawbacks, and the number for the court or judge you’d call if you need an on the spot referee or ruling.
Try to limit filler words and phrases (um; like; I think I know the answer to this but…; etc.). Ask your question and then stop talking and just be silent and wait—don’t rephrase or start filling the silence if they don’t answer right away.
Also don’t be too rigid with your outline. I like to organize it into chapters printed out separately so you can shuffle things around if needed based on the flow of the conversation. Just keep a highlighter or red pen handy so you can mark any questions you skip over in case you want to go back to them later. Also just a basic tip but try and ask the key questions a couple of different ways. Opposing counsel might object, but if they’re not paying attention, they won’t and it can be a way of drawing out inconsistencies, particularly on key moments.
Know your outline but don’t rely on it. Pro se inmates can talk a lot and you want them to if they’re saying good stuff so you’ll want to lead but also follow them so being rigid with your outline could mess you up. Listen to what they’re saying and if anything pops up that is relevant to a question you wanted to ask, go with it when they bring it up. Good luck!
Is it a §1983 action?
