Abstract
The boundary between a proper “working” objection and an improper “speaking” objection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(c)(2) turns out to be less discernible and more mysterious than we might like. It’s certainly less plain than some lawyers believe and some judges have suggested. We all need a better understanding of how and why the business of making objections at depositions can get complicated under the terms of this rule.
