An affidavit is a sworn written statement used as evidence in legal proceedings.
4. In a deposition transcript, how is an 'off the record' remark typically indicated?

6. During a deposition, what should an RPR do if they do not understand a part of the testimony?
During a deposition, an RPR's duty is to create a verbatim record.

Guessing or omitting information would compromise the accuracy and integrity of the official transcript.
