Integrated Depostion Testimony

From the process of discovery the attorney collects hundreds of statements by multiple witnesses about numerous issues. The attorney must now compare and contrast all of this testimony for trial.

The summary of Integrated Deposition Testimony is a tool to collect all of the witness' testimony about the various issues. For example, the testimony might be organized by the topic of tissue type, organ, procedure, standards of care, opinions, etc. All statements related to a specific topic would be grouped together allowing for comparison of the witness' testimony.

Author Thomas A. Moore stated in Evidence in Negligence Cases, that MRRS abstracts and, "...collects the testimony of the various witnesses on... [each] subject... [and] divides the testimony by subject... The integrated abstract, therefore, consolidates hundreds of pages of testimony into a form for quick reference by limiting the content of the abstract to those statements that illustrate and compare the witnesses' opinions on the issues."¹
