This is from May of 1992. The deposition was taken in St Louis. The deponent is "Jack Garrett" who was at one time a research chemist at Monsanto's Texas City facility in the 1950's. Monsanto (represented by Ed Carstarphen on the left), was being sued by some residents of Houston (represented by Joe "Hairpiece" Jamail on the right with the wagging finger) who alleged that Monsanto had harmed them by exposing them to dangerous chemicals. This lawsuit may have been one regarding the Brio Superfund site. "Tucker" was an attorney representing Ayrshire. There is an Ayrshire a real estate development company in Houston, so I can only assume it's the same company, though I'm not sure of their role in this case. It's probably got something to do with property values allegedly impacted by Monsanto.
It does seem so, which is why it's curious that the attorney on the right kept demanding that the attorney on the left has to represent the deponent or he cannot raise objections. Unless Texas law is different, it's elementary that employer's attorney can represent an employee during deposition regarding his employment at the company.
Phuc Le - I think the confusion is because the deponent was not an employee of Monsanto at the time of the lawsuit. I believe he was an expert witness which is why in one of the first questions he’s asked if he told the lawyer next to him “the other companies he’s consulted for” which the deponent denies he did. As an expert witness, the lawyer for Monsanto cannot represent him in the deposition. The witness can have his own lawyer present but the Monsanto lawyer cannot represent an expert witness unless it’s disclosed. That’s what gets Tucker involved because he asks if the lawyer also represents the witness, and if so, he wants it on the record. If not, the lawyer has no right to represent the witness and make objections. That’s when it all starts falling apart.
"Hairpiece" died with a net worth of 1.6 billion dollars at age 90 making him the most successful trial attorney in modern history. You are literally watching a legend in action.
The best part about these depositions is that the vast majority of action takes place between people who are off-camera, so you get to see the subject of the deposition sitting there looking all awkward in the meantime.
Joe Jamail is a legend among Texas trial lawyers. Just one story making the rounds: He represented a medical school in the Houston area on a flood/mold case on a contingency basis of course. When the case settled against the insurance company he gave his multi-million dollar fee back to the medical school--said he didn't need it. Amazing.
I met Joe a couple of times during my career The one thing that always stood out to me and anyone else who knew him was he had more money than you could shake a stick at YET he had the worst Hair Appliance I have ever seen. I mean his wig was hideous Gray at the bottom and black on top. Just the worst rug ever
Taressa Johnson I'm Scottish, but was lucky enough to spend some time in Texas. I had a bumper sticker that said 'I'm not from Texas but I got here as soon as I could...' 😉
Taressa Johnson come on in! We can. Always use another pair of fists to live the brawl down here in Texas! Come on in and throw down! Afterwards we'll all shake hands and have a tall glass of Texas sweet tea and squash this issue!
I've watched this at least 20x and still almost fall out of my chair laughing. It all starts at "big boy" Thanks for an entertaining and educational video.
"Naw you ain't tellin' me a God Damn thing...." very simple, yet effective reply that is not used enough in the work place. I think I'll start to fix that.
I love this. I periodically watch it even though a law professor played it for one of my classes back in law school as a break in place. I always loved it.
He's the one that was out of line along with the room full of corporate lawyers that had no business advising the deposed or making objections at a deposition.
It is generally an ill-advised move, to comment about the plaintiff's counsel having "verbal diarrhea", incipient or otherwise. Strikes me that we have a room full of men with brittle egos, thinking with their testicles instead of with their cerebral hemispheres. This is how rooms full of men end up shooting each other, in a state where talk and ammo is cheap.
What the old man said…. Stands for everyone. “I want to know who’s side we’re on”. The only profession Christ said woe to….were lawyers. This is priceless!
Joe Jamail was the most successful plaintiff's attorney in history. Worth over $1.5 BILLION, mostly from jury contingency fees. Fun to laugh at the baboonery going on here but this guy is a major player.
Im a law student and I just had to look him up. He is a legend - RIP. My night just got awesome thanks to finding a new favourite person. I love his style. The king of torts! I fucking love torts!
To become a lawyer, I had to study hard all the way through school. I had to secure top grades in college to get into law school. I had to endure 3 years of law school competing with other students who earned top grades in college. I had little income throughout all this time. After graduation, I had student loan debt to pay, which I did, every month for 10 years until paid in full.
I was listening to my father's continued learning (he is an attorney) and the audio book literally brought up this as an example of what not to be hahahaha
I have an image of Tucker just wandering into random depositions and saying, "Wait a minute, my name's Tucker, and I wanna know what's goin' on here!"
lol
In tears laughing!
Virtuoso80 LOL! Best thing I've read in ages
Whahhaha
LMAO 😂 with a briefcase full of shredded newspaper.
“Don’t tell me to shut my mouth BOI”👌👌
🤣😂🤣that boi word is a fighting word.
ed was about to get his ass beat by tucker
As a Texas attorney, I fully endorse bringing bring back "boy" as the preferred manner of addressing witnesses and co-counsel.
"We're gonna be outnumbered Ed" Hahaha too funny!
I wanna watch like 5 hours of this.
hollywood needs to steal all these lines and somehow jam this scene into a movie
+Brian Hackert Hollywood sucks they won't hire enough good Texas actors to make it real anyways
Jimmy Walker they will do the "texas face" where they take actors not from Texas and make them seem from Texas. Only a few times every year do movies hit home casting wise.
AMEN!
@@RetroRogue. They always cast Brits for southern roles, for some reason.
"Who are you?"
"Ma names tucker!"
"and I represent Hair Shire"

"Tucker, is that you????"
rf w "and I just wanna know-do you represent the guy or not?"
lol...

It’s important for non lawyers who view this to know that this is exactly how a good deposition is supposed to go
😆
Sure, if you want the state bar to launch disciplinary investigations, write memos, and have to inform the Court of the discovery dispute.

🙌🙌🙌🙌
Yeah this guy was a billionaire when he died. Not sure if there are any other billionaire lawyers
Joe was scared out his seat at the end by a guy who looks like he's 75 years old. Not a great look considering his tough talk.
@@ryanf8780 You have an incipient case of verbal diarrhea.

"Yew dumb sonovabitch." I was laughing out loud
"Are you threatening to fight?" "I just want to know what side we're on" lmao I'm moving to Texas tomorrow.

I've watched this at least 20x and still almost fall out of my chair laughing. It all starts at "big boy"
Thanks for an entertaining and educational video.
Same!!!!!
Me too brother. But for some reason my favorite is “we’ll see about it..”. 😂
*FAT BOY*
can’t stop watching
This is my uncle. Really enjoy watching ... love and miss him so much. Thank you for posting.
Which one was your uncle, the gentleman being deposed? Thanks for sharing, this is such a classic video.
@Michael none of them
(Nah jk I don't know either and would like to know myself)
And I’m your daddy… bend over, honey.❤😂
He's not "Threatening" anyone... He's asking is you would like to consent to Mutual Combat.....
"Naw you ain't tellin' me a God Damn thing...." very simple, yet effective reply that is not used enough in the work place. I think I'll start to fix that.
If court cases were more like this Americans would be watching court tv instead of ESPN...
Welcome to Texas, Baby!!!
hardly anyone watches espn anymore.
Haven't they become the same thing these days?
I would watch it anyways. I wish it would come back!
I wonder if Texans are more enthusiastic about jury duty than other folks.
That quickly turned into a LBJ-measuring contest.
Underrated comment
I well remember once having a drink with the infamous Joe Jamail. He was quite the colorful character.
The lawyer asking the questions, Joe Jamail is dead now but what a classic! Joseph Dahr Jamail Jr. (October 19, 1925 - December 23, 2015)
"fat bowuh!" lol!
this deposition is so texas, big boy!
This is funny as hell. "Are you hreatening to fight?...I want to know who's side your on...we're going to be out numbered Ed"
Lord how I love Texas.
Joe Jamail is one of my heros, and I was damn proud to know him!
Well, that escalated quickly. And hilariously! LoL
Im gonna watch this for the rest of my life.
I love watching depositions, and this one takes the cake besides Wayne
when he lunges forward with that angry face. guy's for real
It was a total bluff!
My name is TUCKER Lmaoo idk why I laughed when he said that
Maybe my favorite video ever on youtube.
"We'll see abooutit."
*Tucker Has Joined The Chat.*
"Are you threatening to fight?...." HAH. This is gold.
A judge showed us this today at a seminar at UCF...absolutely hilarious
RIP Joe Jamail. He died yesterday at the age of 90.
who was him?
@@humbertoflores2545 the wagging finger
I hope he's rotting in hell.
good riddance. he was a a hole
This is the Citizen Kane of angry deposition videos.
Hahaha!!! The Prosecutor flinched, that little old scientist dude would have kicked his ass, funny shit man...
At the end they turned to the stenographer and asked; "Could you read that all back for us?"
The court reporter said: "I don't have son of a bitch or goddamn on my machine, which key do I punch in?"
I love this. I periodically watch it even though a law professor played it for one of my classes back in law school as a break in place. I always loved it.
This is like a scene out of Casino
@Blood Beryl Whine about it boy
The word of the day is "incipient."
Monsanto’s lawyer Ed calls Jamil, “Mr. Hairpiece” at 2:23!
Welcome to Texas, where even a gray-haired research chemist is ready to throw down when somebody gets out of line. They're too good for this country.

Dumb Nigra Nope. Not mad at all. He wanted to be insulted so I obliged him. :)

If you watch enough of these depositions, you will be a street lawyer.

This video should recieve an Oscar AND an Emmy award.
