Missouri Rule 502(d) Model Order is a set of court rules established by the Supreme Court of Missouri that specify how a court should handle discovery disputes. The Model Order provides guidance to judges on how to handle discovery requests and responses, as well as sanctions for discovery violations. The Model Order is divided into three parts: Preliminary Considerations, Discovery Procedures, and Sanctions. The Preliminary Considerations section contains guidance for courts on how to handle issues such as the scope of discovery and when a motion to compel is appropriate. The Discovery Procedures portion of the Model Order outlines the methods of discovery, including written interrogatories, document requests, depositions, and physical and mental examinations. The Sanctions portion of the Model Order outlines the sanctions that may be imposed for discovery violations, such as contempt of court and monetary sanctions. There are two types of Missouri Rule 502(d) Model Order: the original version, issued in 1997, and the amended version, issued in 2017.
