What is the main purpose of discovery?

Discovery is a process you can use before your trial to find out information from another party. The purpose of discovery is to find out the information you need to prove your case or defend against the claims being made against you.

What does defendant demand for discovery mean?

If you are a defendant in a case, you have to raise enough doubt about the strength of the plaintiffs case to make the judge (or jury) decide your side is stronger. Discovery is how you gather the evidence you will need to prove your case as plaintiff, or defeat the plaintiffs case as a defendant.

How does discovery affect the defendant?

The Impact of Discovery Often, knowing more about the strengths of the prosecutions case will encourage a defendant to accept a plea bargain rather than taking their case to a jury.

Who benefits most from discovery and why?

The Benefits of Discovery for Both Plaintiffs and Defendants Helps plaintiffs and defendants understand the legal issues at play in the case and better prepare for trial. During discovery, each party can obtain facts from the other through requests for admission, interrogatories, documents, depositions, and more.

What does it mean when it says demand for discovery and inspection?

The Impact of Discovery You might think that discovery increases the chance that a defendant will win at trial, but this is not necessarily true. Often, knowing more about the strengths of the prosecutions case will encourage a defendant to accept a plea bargain rather than taking their case to a jury.
