Because it is an attorney driven system, if one or both attorneys want to push a case and set dates for completion of discovery or for trial, they can do it.

Discovery has two main components: written discovery and depositions. Many legal form books contain examples of the many different types of discovery requests. Part One A. Foreign Attorneys.
