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.
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.
Failure to comply with discovery obligations may result in sanctions. Sanctions are actions taken by the Administrative Judge to penalize a party that fails to comply with their orders or other legal obligations.

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 consists of six stages or elements, including: concept, belief, ability, support, proof, and protection. Each element is discussed within the context of the whole discovery enterprise.
Generally speaking, when a party does not respond to discovery, one may file a motion to compel. It may also be important to check with the party to see why no response was provided. Typically the court will decide all discovery disputes.
Think of discovery as obtaining and disclosing the evidence and position of each side of a case so that all parties involved can decide what their best options are – move forward toward to trial or negotiate an early settlement.
