Make a copy of your form interrogatories for each attorney or self-represented party in your case. You will keep the original. They are not filed with the court.
You can use Proof of Service by First Class Mail (form POS-030). It helps if you fill in the top part of the form with the case and court information. Your server can then fill in the information about how, when, and where they served the papers. Your server must then sign the form.
The very first step in any discovery process is typically a kickoff meeting. If you're working one-on-one with a client, this meeting is just between you and your client.
A party or other person may serve documents electronically directly, by an agent, or through a designated electronic filing service provider.
Parties usually send their discovery requests and responses to the other party electronically, by email. But, parties may also send or respond to discovery requests by U.S. mail or a parcel service. Discovery requests and responses should not be sent to the Administrative Judge, except to support a motion.
In the United States, there are five basic forms of discovery: depositions, interrogatories, requests for production of documents (or permission to inspect), physical and mental examinations, and requests for admission.
How Does Discovery Work? There are four main types of discovery requests: (1) depositions; (2) interrogatories; (3) requests for admissions; and (4) requests for the production of documents. Depositions are formal witness interviews.
