Admissibility

Can I use non-stenographic depositions in my state?

Majority say Yes!

In 1993, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 30 (b) (3) were amended to allow for non-stenographic depositions, meaning no shorthand reporter or stenography. The majority of states have followed suit, adapting their laws to permit audio or video recordings to serve as the official record.

Specific links to information on state laws are shown below.
