Depos Revisited

So I defended my depo today. I'm still kind of on a high about it. It was weird though. I've spent the last few years as a law clerk and then the last 7 months as a supporting attorney being silent during depositions, and now I was expected - even required - to object and speak up. It felt weird. It was strange. I was actually conscious of the moment I realized "hey, wait, I'm supposed to make objections today." Thank God it happened during the first few minutes when he was asking the background questions. So I lodged my objections, spoke up when I needed to, followed up with poignant questions, preserved the record, and I think I did a pretty good job. I hope I'm right...and I hope she hires me again!
