Contact Attorney Nelson for details on this event. Download vCard

This workshop will provide a brief introduction and overview of written discovery procedures, including the service of interrogatories and requests for production, the use of forms, objections and answers to written discovery, and follow-up motions.  As litigating starts with written discovery which sets the tone and pace for a suit, the workshop will also include discussion of how written discovery fits into overall case strategies, timing, pros and cons, zealous advocacy balanced with civility towards opposing counsel, and using the process to your advantage.  It will also discuss practical considerations and some of the “unwritten rules” of written discovery and motion practice that cannot be found in the Rule Book. This workshop will be beneficial for new civil litigators as well as those general practitioners or transactional attorneys who may be called upon to counsel clients about litigation from time to time.
