QUESTION: How do I answer a lawyer’s question of "is it possible” in a civil deposition?
ANSWER: It’s simple, you just don’t answer that question because it would be guessing and during a deposition you don’t guess. You’re not there to answer questions about what is possible, you are there to answer questions about what you know. Guessing is for the “Let me guess your weight” booth on the fairway at the Iowa State Fair. Your answer to the question about whether it’s possible is to say “I wouldn’t know, many things are possible but without knowing all the variables I would not be able to guess what was possible on that date.”
I hope that answers your question. If not write to me and I’ll try to answer it more in context of your case.
