The questions are intentionally leading to the conclusion the lawyer wants a jury to reach. It’s intended to be hostile. If you react angrily, that serves the lawyer’s purpose.
If I calmly tell lawyer to go back to high school and learn haw to ask questions that could be answered without the doubt whose purpose does it serve?
Lawyer’s. Because it’s perceived as juvenile.
Why would I care what it's being perceived like?
Because the deposition, when played for a jury in a civil suit, may cause them to find against you or the party you align with.
"...party you align with." That is a big assumption. I prefer not to align. If for whatever reason I am aligning with party I will of course take that into account.
Because mostly the answers don't matter and the only thing that does matter is the fact finder's opinion of the parties.
So your are telling me that we only have kangaroo courts? Well I sort of suspected it. thanks for confirming.
And lawyers wonder why they are considered lowerer than a subterranean snake's belly when they openly waste vast amounts of people's time to manipulatively build a sophistic self serving narrative....
