FAQ
Discovery is the process through which defendants find out about the prosecution's case. For example, through standard discovery procedure, they can: get copies of the arresting officers' reports and statements made by prosecution witnesses, and. examine evidence that the prosecution proposes to introduce at trial.
Discovery is conducted by sending written requests in a proscribed form to the opposing party specifically listing the type of discovery sought, the manner in which it will be obtained, and the time for complying with the request. Check your state and local rules for the required form of these requests.
Discovery consists of four key actions: interrogatories, requests for production, requests for admission and depositions.
