FAQ
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.
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.
The definition of “discovery” in law is the exchange of legal information and known facts of a case.
Discovery requests typically follow a common format that you can mirror. First, list instructions detailing the request for production. Be sure to mention Rule 34 and Rule 26(b), which outline the scope of the discovery request. It's also necessary to include a section with definitions.
One of the most common methods of discovery is to take depositions. A deposition is an out-of-court statement given under oath by any person involved in the case. It is to be used at trial or in preparation for trial. It may be in the form of a written transcript, a videotape, or both.
A discovery is recognizing something that already exists for the first time, that nobody has found before, e.g. how Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas.
Provide a brief synopsis (two or three sentences) of the crux of the motion that you are bringing before the court. 2. Give a good explanation of the facts of the case. The relevant scope of your discovery depends on these facts.
Formal Written Discovery is written questions and requests for documents. It's a time-consuming process, but necessary to gather the evidence we need for a final trial. This is where we ask questions and request documents from the other party, who must answer them under oath and with detail.
You typically have 30 days to respond to the request During the time you have to respond to discovery requests, you can still use mediation or work to negotiate a settlement with the other side. How you respond will depend upon what type of request you've received.
Generally, a party has 28 days to respond to a request for production of documents, but if the requests were served by U.S. mail they have 7 extra days to respond.
