An incredibly handy tool, it’s a must-have in cases where medical issues are in question. Since the reference is contained completely within the app itself, no internet connection is required, and your queries are not dependent on the slow Wi-Fi that your opponent steals from the nearby Starbucks. While the Physicians Desk Reference is probably my preferred source when I’m in my office, MedWords is the best mobile source of quick medical information that I’ve been able to find. Whether I need to be prepared to depose the plaintiff, a family member, a treating physician, or an expert witness, it is absolutely essential that I have a complete command of all the medical aspects of the case. Given that my practice consists mostly of insurance defense cases, particularly motor vehicle negligence and medical malpractice, the medical issues of the case tend to be one of, if not the, central disputed issues in the case.

iAnnotate PDF completely changed the way I conduct my depositions. Most importantly, multiple exporting options allow me to store copies of my deposition outline in a format that can be edited later, or a flat format to preserve my notes exactly how they were taken down. Bookmarks allow me to quickly navigate to different sections of my outline (for those rare occasions when the witness decides they want to answer a different question than I asked). Different options for the annotations allow me to distinguish between responses that I felt were sufficient and those that were either incomplete or raised new issues I had not anticipated. The annotation features allow me to enter notes quickly into one category, then minimize those notes into a small icon on the page. With a deposition outline converted to PDF, and usually imported into my iPad through Dropbox or email, iAnnotate PDF allows me to take notes right on my outline without worrying about cluttering the page with handwritten notes, and without having to flip back and forth through a 17 page outline. Without question, iAnnotate PDF is the center of any deposition I take. With that in mind, I give you my list of 8 essential iPad apps for depositions: As a litigator, I know that even though I absolutely love trying cases to a jury, most of my time will be spent preparing for, and taking, depositions. When I looked for opinions about the essential iPad apps for depositions, it was pretty slim pickings. Yet, in spite of this fact, most of the attention given to mobile apps for attorneys discusses how useful those apps will be at trial. Although trials are where a litigator’s talents and skills are most visible to the public, any litigator worth their salt knows that cases are won and lost in deposition (and they tend to happen a LOT more often than trials).
