Some lectures share tips for testifying at deposition and others about how trials proceed; this mock trial explores both and demonstrates how the two are interrelated. Real-life health care defense attorneys play the roles of the lawyers and health care providers serve as the witnesses to provide an interactive experience of deposition and trial testimony. The moderator will walk you, the jurors, through the jury deliberation process and how those with no medical training are expected to render these important decisions.
