Alaska Interrogatories and Requests for Production are legal discovery tools used in civil litigation in Alaska. Interrogatories are written questions posed by one party to another that must be answered under oath. Requests for production are requests for documents, tangible things, or entries in business records that are relevant to the case. The Alaska Rules of Civil Procedure (ARC) provide for the use of interrogatories and requests for production in civil cases. There are three types of interrogatories and requests for production in Alaska: standard interrogatories, special interrogatories, and requests for production. Standard interrogatories are a set of predetermined questions that are used in discovery. Special interrogatories are questions that are customized to a particular case. Requests for production are requests for documents, tangible things, or entries in business records that are relevant to the case. In Alaska, a party can serve interrogatories and requests for production on any other party to the action. The responding party must answer the interrogatories or produce the requested documents within the time period specified in the ARC. If the responding party fails to do so, the requesting party can file a motion to compel with the court.
