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.
