The comments on Zuck's are funny

Typical "lawyer is so stupid, she's asking dumb questions, repetitive questions"

Yeah, people - it's a deposition. Getting Zuck to blab is what they're looking for

    Weirdly, I was talking to someone earlier about this who had been deposed.

    They ask repeated questions repetitive questions hoping that you slip up/contradict yourself.

    He said it was an interest experience trying to repeat exactly the same answers he’d already given.

      I was deposed once.

      It was 6 hours where the opposing counsel tried to rattle me / get under my skin with insulting questions.

      To be clear, I was only an expert witness in the lawsuit (drug + pregnant lady + birth defects). It paid extremely well, but was something I would never want to do routinely.

      At the end of the deposition, the lawyer had to catch a flight to the west coast and she asked ME if I would drive her to the airport* (she said she'd pay me my hourly rate)!

      At that point it was clear that the insults were just theater and "part of the job", but I took it all too personally and told her I had to get home.

      * She was late for the flight and Uber wasn't a thing yet.

    That but also I would imagine getting information on the record from the exhibits etc.
