Discovery Process
Working Together for a Solution
The discovery process is a pre-trial phase in a lawsuit where both parties exchange information about witnesses and evidence they intend to present at trial. This process aims to prevent “trial by ambush” by ensuring both sides are aware of the evidence before the trial begins. Common discovery methods include depositions (out-of-court statements under oath), interrogatories (written questions), requests for production of documents, and requests for admissions (statements of fact that a party is asked to admit or deny).
