Discovery materials are filed only in limited circumstances, including if ordered by the Court, if necessary to the presentation or defense of a motion, or if required by law or rule.
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.
The discovery rule is a legal principle that allows the statute of limitations to begin not at the moment of the accident but rather when you became aware of your injury.
Can You Refuse Discovery In Any Instances? The Interrogatory Is Vague, Overly Broad, and Unduly Burdensome. The Request Is Irrelevant or Not Pertinent to the Matter at Hand. The Information Is Public and Available to Everyone. The Interrogatory Forces a Conclusion. A Violation of Attorney–Client Privilege.
In a formal discovery, you formally ask for information and documents. You can also ask other people for information. For example, you may need documents from your spouse's employer. They also must respond.
You must respond to each request individually. You do not need to repeat the text of the question, but your responses must be in the same order as the requests, and each response should be labeled with the same number or letter as the request.
The very first step in any discovery process is typically a kickoff meeting. If you're working one-on-one with a client, this meeting is just between you and your client.
Write out each fact you wish the other party to admit is true. When writing these facts, be as clear and concise as possible. Each request must be for a single fact; do not include multiple facts, compound questions, or subparts.
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.
