What is a deposition transcript?

A deposition transcript is a written record of a deposition. A deposition is a sworn statement given by a witness or parties involved in a legal proceeding. It occurs in a court of law and often involves lawyers asking questions to the witness, and the witness providing answers under oath. In South Carolina, a deposition is usually conducted in a lawyer’s office, where the witness and lawyer are the only people present. The deposition is then transcribed and this transcribed version is referred to as a deposition transcript. This detailed transcript is essentially a recorded version of what was said in the deposition, and can be used as evidence in the case. It includes everything that was said by all parties involved in the deposition, including any objections by lawyers to questions put forth. The deposition transcript serves as a written record for the court to refer to if needed. It is important for the accuracy of testimony that the deposition transcript be an accurate and complete record of the deposition.
