Nature of assignment: No aspect of modern civil litigation is more heavily criticized than the discovery process. We spent two modules exploring that process in federal court, basing our study on the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) and their applications. We have studied some recent reform proposals to the rules, as well as looking at a host of potential problems with discovery.

Describe and defend one or more reforms that you would propose in order to improve the discovery process in federal civil litigation. Make sure that you clearly identify the changes that you would make to the existing discovery process and explain why the changes that you identify would improve that process.

Your answer must propose one or more changes or reforms to the existing federal discovery process - you should not simply describe aspects of the system that are already in place.
