One of the tools that a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney will use to defend your rights is the pre-trial discovery process when the defense can file a “Demand for Discovery and Inspection” requesting that the prosecution share its evidence with the defense. This can include: Witness lists.
Discovery refers to the process of getting information from another party (a Plaintiff or a Defendant) before trial. Discovery is a legal tool each party can use to strengthen their case. Through discovery you may receive new information and documents. You may be able to use those documents as evidence at trial.
Discovery means you send the other side questions and requests for information or items (like documents) in writing. The other side must respond to your question or request in writing.
A discovery response is essentially a choice that you make after receiving a request for information. The question then becomes, Should you comply or not?
Conclusion: Following discovery, the lawsuit needs a final conclusion. Most cases settle, with mediation being the most common means of reaching settlement. If settlement efforts fail, then the final outcome is determined by trial.
You have 30 days to respond to interrogatories, but you may ask the other party for more time. If the other party declines, you may write to the judge to ask for an extension of time. You must answer each interrogatory separately and fully in writing and under oath.
However, most personal injury cases settle before trial. Instead, they may offer the settlement well after the trial starts. This typically happens after discovery, but it may even happen after the jury reaches a verdict.
(b) Document Demand: As the name indicates, this is a written demand in which one party demands that the other produce certain documents for inspection and copying. (This device is also referred to as a notice of discovery and inspection). The demand must define the items sought with reasonable particularity.
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.
