FAQ

Discovery in a criminal case refers to the exchange of evidence and statements between opposing sides of a case.Typically, a defense attorney will file a Notice of Appearance, informing the Court and the prosecutor of his or her role in the case, and a Discovery Demand requesting particular information.

The purpose of discovery is to allow the parties to obtain full knowledge of the issues and facts of the lawsuit before going to trial. An experienced family law attorney will use discovery to help you identify the various strengths and weaknesses of each side of the case.

This is the formal process of exchanging information between the parties about the witnesses and evidence they'll present at trial. Discovery enables the parties to know before the trial begins what evidence may be presented.Depositions enable a party to know in advance what a witness will say at the trial.

Step 1: Prepare and exchange your initial disclosures. Within thirty days after the defendant files his answer, the plaintiff and defendant must exchange: Step 2: File the early case conference report. Step 3: Ask the court to allow more discovery if you want it.

Motion: A request to the court to issue an order to compel discovery. Points and Authorities: Supporting documentation for the motion detailing the submitted request for discovery, the opposing side's failure to comply, and an explanation of why the discovery is relevant to the case.

That disclosure is accomplished through a methodical process called "discovery." Discovery takes three basic forms: written discovery, document production and depositions.

To be admissible in court, the evidence must be relevant (i.e., material and having probative value) and not outweighed by countervailing considerations (e.g., the evidence is unfairly prejudicial, confusing, a waste of time, privileged, or based on hearsay).

If the motion has been filed with the Clerk of Court you would be able to obtain a copy from the clerk's office in the county where the motion was filed.
