Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A deposition is a specific type of legal proceeding that requires a person to testify outside of a court environment but with the lawyers and a court reporter or tape recorder being used. A statement does not occur as a legal request and it is not under oath. Anything in a court setting is considered legal and would meet the requirements of such an environment. An ethical report has nothing to do with a legal proceeding.
