This hybrid event is comprised of two parts:
(1) 2:00-3:00pm Reboot Workshop (indoors at 202 Chávez and virtual Zoom Room)
(2) 3:00-3:30pm Socializing (outdoors at Chávez Patio)
Open to all genders and identities -prioritizing femme, nonbinary, trans, disabled and/or living with a disability, Black, Indigenous, People of Color.
If you require an accommodation for effective communication (ASL interpreting/CART captioning, alternative media formats, etc.) or information about campus mobility access features in order to fully participate in this event, please contact Joanna Villegas at joannavillegas@berkeley.edu with as much advance notice as possible and at least 7-10 days in advance of the event.

Professor Hecht's Depositions course is a lawyering skills course, in which Berkeley Law students, working in small groups, simulate the process of preparing witnesses for their depositions and then taking as well as defending their depositions. Practicing Bay Area lawyers attend these sessions, observe the law students in action, and critique their performances. (Note: A deposition is a pre-trial legal procedure in which witnesses in a civil lawsuit answer questions by the opposing parties under oath, typically in a law office rather than a courtroom.)

Please apply by e-mail to Professor Hecht at hhecht@law.berkeley.edu, with a copy of your message to Monique Sanchez, his Faculty Support Assistant, at msanchez@law.berkeley.edu, by no later than Wednesday, January 26, at 5:00 p.m. Please include the words “Application to be a Witness” and your last name in the subject line of your e-mail. In your cover message, please include a brief statement about why you are interested in taking part in this class; and attach your resume.

decisions by no later than Friday, January 28, at 5:00 p.m.
