This situation describes a deposition, which is a pre-trial legal proceeding where a witness, such as a CEO, provides sworn testimony that is recorded by a court official in response to questioning by the opposing counsel.

Voir dire is the process of selecting a jury, and interrogatories are written questions posed by one party to the other party in a legal case.
