The strength or weakness of both sides of the case depends not only on the facts in the matter, but on the expert’s ability to present analyses and opinions to the ‘triers of fact.’

The phrase ‘triers of fact’ refers to the people responsible for the final judgment of the case. This may be jurors, or it may be a judge alone in a trial that does not involve jurors. When a judge alone reviews all evidence in a trial and decides a verdict without any jury, it is called a ‘bench trial.’ The participants in the litigation may also have agreed on the use of an arbitrator or mediator who may have similar responsibilities to these more recognizable ‘triers of fact.’

Keep in mind that the deposition process may be presented to you as simply a discovery procedure. Attorneys have said to me in deposition that they are just “trying to discover the facts.” That statement is sometimes an attempt to cause you to drop your guard and to be more relaxed than you should be. Yes, they are trying to get the facts out, but that is not all they are trying to do. An unstated goal of the deposition day is to somehow get you to put statements on the record that may later be used to embarrass, discredit, or disqualify you.

A key goal of the opposing lawyer, through the intensity and thoroughness of his questioning, is to uncover any outright mistakes, notable weaknesses, or notable oversights that you may have made during the process of your investigations. In addition, the opposing attorney may ask you questions from different angles at different times during the deposition day. He is hoping that you will give answers that may be different enough that he can claim later at trial that they sound contradictory.

Many attorneys will use the deposition room as a battleground. If possible, they would like to destroy you as an expert witness then and there. A deposition is often the only opportunity you will have to testify in most of your litigation support jobs. The rules here are looser for the attorneys, and they can get away with more risky questioning of you than they would be allowed to do in a trial.

You must stay focused and stay alert in a deposition. Most of the time, your deposition testimony will be the only testimony you give in the case, and its strength and your preparedness can dramatically affect the results.

It is the time of year when people begin to think about sending gifts to their relatives, coworkers and other special people that have influenced their life in some way. As the holiday season shifts into full swing the creative gift giving selections are a wonderful way to let someone know that they are important.

By ordering online for the special people in life, quality and time delivery can be guaranteed from the people that present fruit baskets for holiday gift giving.

Let’s learn how to say I wonder in Spanish in the present using the future tense. You may want to pay very close attention to this lesson because this is a topic that seems to trouble even advanced learners of the Spanish language.

Spanish doesn’t have a verb for “to wonder.” Spanish does have a verb called “preguntarse” or
to ask one’s self. But “me pregunto” or “I ask myself” isn’t exactly the same as “I wonder.”

So how does a native Spanish speaker say:

1. I wonder what time it is.
2. I wonder what’s her name.
3. I wonder who is coming to the party.
4. I wonder what they are eating.
5. I wonder who is winning the game.

In Spanish, in order “to wonder” in the PRESENT you ASK questions using the FUTURE TENSE.

Let me give you some examples so that you understand this challenging grammar topic.

1. Qué hora será?
(I wonder what time it is?)

2. Cómo se llamará ella?
(I wonder what’s her name?)

3. Quién vendrá a la fiesta?
(I wonder who is coming to the party?)

4. Qué comerán ellos?
(I wonder what they are eating?)

5. Quién ganará el partido?
I wonder who is winning the game?

That’s how you “wonder” in the PRESENT in Spanish. You just ASK yourself questions using the FUTURE TENSE. This concludes today’s online Spanish grammar lesson. In my next online grammar lesson, I am going to share with you how to “wonder” about something in the PAST.
