About This Course

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are intended to make it easier for litigants and courts to reach the merits of cases. That principle extends to the rules governing discovery. If used fairly, those rules (Rules 26 through 37) can help litigants figure out what evidence opposing parties intend to offer to support their claims or defenses.

Yet litigators routinely respond to discovery requests by trying to fling every possible objection at them, and then continuing with some magic formula along the lines of “Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections . . .”

This CLE will review case law interpreting the rules and offer guidance for responding to discovery requests—and for dealing with opposing counsel who insist on interposing improper objections.
