Discovery is how you gather the evidence you will need to prove your case as plaintiff, or defeat the plaintiff's case as a defendant. You use discovery to find out things like: What the other side plans to say about an issue in your case. What facts or witnesses support their side.
The most common discovery techniques include: Depositions. In a deposition, one party or that party's lawyer conducts face-to-face questioning of the other party or a witness to the dispute. Requests for production of evidence. Interrogatories. Requests for admission.
Before a case goes to trial (sometimes called the “pretrial phase”), there is an important step called “discovery.” Discovery is a formal process of gathering information, after a case has been filed. During discovery, both sides can collect and exchange information about the case and prepare for trial.
