FAQ

When you are ready to serve the opposing party with discovery requests or discovery responses, you will include a document called “Notice of Service of Discovery Material.” The Notice states the type of discovery material served, the date and manner of service, and the party or person served.

In certain cases, you might be able to write a letter to the other side and request the documents that you need. However, in more formal cases, you will likely have to draft more formal discovery demands. There are usually forms available for this in local law libraries, from the court clerk's office, or online.

A "notice of discovery" is usually used to let a party or witness to a case know that they are being asked to provide come form of evidence in a pending civil or criminal matter; depending on the specific rules of the court in which the case is pending, a notice of discovery may serve the same purpose as a subpoena ...

If the parties are having a dispute, either party can file a motion with the court asking the judge to order the other side to respond to discovery requests or punish the other side for failing to respond to discovery requests or for making unreasonable discovery requests.

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.

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.

Steps Of The Discovery Process. There are four key actions in the discovery process which include interrogatories, request for documents, request for admissions, and depositions.

Prosecutors are given up to the time before trial to present the discovery to the defense. If prosecutors do not present the discovery in a timely manner, they can face sanctions including the dismissal of charges. Maryland law enforcement is usually not a part of the discovery process.

All discovery must be completed not later than 15 days before the date set for the arbitration hearing unless the court, upon a showing of good cause, makes an order granting an extension of the time within which discovery must be completed.
