One of the mechanisms built into the U.S. justice system is a system to deal with appeals. Basically, any court order (except one by the Supreme Court) can be appealed. But it's an uphill battle. After all, one is seeking to have the order of a judge (or panel of judges) set aside. The basis for the appeal must have merit or an appellate court will reject it outright. If this happens, there's always another level of appeal, but the slope gets even steeper. (Remember, it's an uphill battle.)

What is the difference between deposition and interrogatory?
A deposition is an event at which attorneys ask questions to a witness or to the opposing party. The questions and the answers to those questions are recorded by a court reporter. The court reporter prepares a written transcript which is known as the "deposition transcript" but is commonly referred to as "the deposition".
A deposition takes place in person or via video, and sometimes it is filmed -- particularly if the person being deposed (the witness) is terminally ill. Showing a video deposition to a jury is more effective than reading a deposition transcript. (Deposition questions may be submitted in writing, but this is rarely done.)
Interrogatories are written questions submitted by one party to the other party who answers the questions in writing.

ORIGINAL ANSWER: The first main difference between an interrogatory and a deposition is who answers. In an interrogatory, the opposing party is questioned; whereas, in a deposition, a third party, or "potential witness" is questioned.
The second main usual difference between an interrogatory and a deposition is how the questions are asked. In an interrogatory, the questions are written, and answered on paper, still under oath. In a deposition, a lawyer questions the witnesses out
loud, and of course, under oath. However, deposition questions can also be presented in written format in some cases.
How do you expunge a felony conviction from 22 years ago in Arizona?
In Arizona, "expunge" is also called "set aside". If the conviction occurred in Coconino or Maricopa County, you can find online instructions and forms at the first related link below (scroll down the page to "How does a person apply to have a conviction set aside...?"). If the conviction was in another county, you must contact the court clerk to get forms and instructions.

In any court, the Court Stenographer makes a verbatim record of the official proceedings of the court. In the past, this has been done using shorthand notes, later transcribed.

Do you have to testify against a family member if I have been summoned as a witness in court?
Yes. They will treat you as a "hostile witness" and continue with the questioning. You cannot get out of it because you dont want to testify.
Anyone can refuse to testify in court by pleading that by doing so they believe they may incriminate themselves along with the defendant. The 5th amendment of the US Constitution states that you have the right not to incriminate yourself. This is what it means when people say they "plead the fifth".
If your testimony would not be incriminating to you and you just don't want to testify against a family member you can refuse to do so in any court in the US. However by refusing to give testimony to the court the judge may charge you with contempt of court and you could be fined and/or jailed. This rarely happens if the proceedings are of a civil nature,such as smail claims court or other civil court proceedings and even trafic court. It mostly occurs in criminal court proceedings, and Family court proceedings dealing with divorce or child custody.
