If a lawsuit gets past its initial stages, the plaintiff and the defendant will go through a period of discovery. This involves asking the opposing party or other people to provide information that would not be publicly known or readily available to the party seeking it.
Discovery may be carried out by directly asking a person questions (oral depositions), by sending a person written questions (interrogatories and depositions on written questions), and by requesting that the person provide documents (motions for production, subpoenas duces tecum).
After-discovered evidence is an issue predominantly in criminal proceedings and may be used as the basis for a motion for a new trial. Courts employ a four-part test in determining whether to grant a new trial on this basis.
After-discovered evidence, or newly discovered evidence, is evidence which existed at the time of the original trial but was only discovered after the conclusion of the trial. After-discovered evidence is an issue predominantly in criminal proceedings and may be used as the basis for a motion for a new trial.
The court has the discretion to allow new evidence at any time, including after the close of evidence or even after jury arguments, but the court may choose to limit such evidence to matters that could not previously have been raised and that will not prejudice the other party by coming in at such a late point.

Formal Written Discovery is written questions and requests for documents. Its a time-consuming process, but necessary to gather the evidence we need for a final trial. This is where we ask questions and request documents from the other party, who must answer them under oath and with detail.
