Texas Deposition With Joe Jamail
December 11, 2006
I've noticed that a number of people have arrived here seeking to view the infamous Joe Jamail Texas deposition video referred to in this post. The video was posted over at Legal Reader and is no longer viewable on YouTube at the original link.
But, have no fear, dear readers. I've located another copy of the video
This video is downright priceless. After all, what's more entertaining than a bunch of good ol' boy Texas lawyers nearly resorting to blows in the middle of a deposition?
Thanks, Niki! I've update my original Joe Jamail post with your new-found working link to the video.

Really shoots to hell the theory that video depositions make the lawyers more civil.

I was fortunate enough to be invited to have lunch with Joe last week. Having seen and heard the video, and all the wild stories, I was not sure what to expect. The bottom line: He is a truly amazing lawyer, and an equally impressive man.
My favorite quote of the day was when he told us about a televised debate he had been part of some time back, where his opponent - a doctor - had left Joe only about 30 seconds to close. Joe told the moderator, "not a problem."
He then said, (as closely as I can remember) "Mr. Moderator, you can please remind the good doctor - and I hope he doesn't mind me calling him a doctor - that when his professional ancestors were applying leeches to George Washington to bleed him into good health, my professional ancestors were writing the Declaration of Independance and the Constitution. Good night."
