Date: March 31st, 2026 9:42 AM Author: George Jetson I took a class on it in law school. Professor spent half the semester teaching us how to write the definition section of discovery requests to make sure we defined “documents” etc correctly. In practice those never apply because the requests pretty much just ask you to produce everything relevant about the accident or event and a judge would sanction you for not producing an email because the term document didn’t specifically include emails.
TLDR: my professor practiced law for 2 years, became a professor, and taught nothing of importance on discovery in the discovery class |
