Deposition Questions
The purpose of a deposition is to discover what a witness knows about the case at hand. In addition, the questions prevent a witness from changing his story once an answer is given. This is call a prior inconsistent statement at the time of trial.
The questions are not limited. However, an attorney can object to a question. If that happens you have to go to a Judge to get an order to answer the question. Be prepared in your question and be prepared to justify their relevance.
