A quick definition of question-and-answer:

Question-and-answer: A way of getting information by asking someone questions and having them answer. This can happen in a court case when a lawyer asks a witness questions, or in a classroom when a teacher asks students questions. The person answering the questions is not supposed to give extra information, only what is asked for.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Question-and-answer is a method of developing evidence during a deposition or trial. It involves a lawyer asking a series of questions to a witness, who then answers them. The witness is not allowed to offer any unsolicited information.

Examples:

  • A lawyer asks a witness, "What did you see on the night of the incident?" The witness responds, "I saw two men arguing outside the bar."
  • During a trial, a lawyer asks a witness, "Did you witness the defendant committing the crime?" The witness answers, "Yes, I saw him take the money from the cash register."

These examples illustrate how a lawyer can use the question-and-answer method to develop evidence during a deposition or trial. The witness is only allowed to answer the questions asked by the lawyer and cannot offer any additional information. This helps to ensure that the evidence presented is relevant and reliable.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
