MyDepo is a web application for organizing deposition proceedings and their associated records. It covers deposition calendars, transcripts, exhibits, video, and other documents. Users can schedule, review, and change current or future proceedings online. A dashboard links the user’s calendar, jobs, cases, job details, and case jobs. Calendar views can be filtered by case, deponent, or job number and shown by week or month. Completed transcripts and exhibits can be viewed or downloaded in major formats. Colleagues in the same firm can receive shared access to cases, jobs, calendars, and invoices. Optional email notifications can flag scheduling changes and transcript uploads. Invoice searches support case, client matter number, or job number, with totals by case or client matter. The vendor says desktop and mobile devices can be used for scheduling, calendar management, and transcript downloads. Remote depositions, in-person support, exhibit management, and transcript coordination are listed. The service is free, but an account must be requested from the vendor.
