Sample Notice Language for Depositions

Including the language below in your Notice of Deposition allows the deposition to proceed remotely or with a different capture method without a separate agreement on the day of the proceeding.

We recommend using the following language in your notice:

This deposition may be conducted remotely by videoconference and recorded by stenographic, voice-writing, audio, video, or any combination thereof, at the election of the [Plaintiff/Defendant], regardless of the physical locations of the witness and deposition officer. The parties stipulate to remote administration of the oath, including across state lines, and waive any objection based solely on the remote administration or the parties’ respective locations.
