Purpose:For you to draft a set of interrogatories and requests for production
Outcome: Draft and examine correspondence, forms, and pleadings used in the steps of a civil lawsuit.
Even though Interrogatories need to be in pleading format, they are NOT filed with the court.
I have attached a Discovery checklist below.When working on a lawsuit it is important to keep track of your discovery requests for each case.That way you can keep track of when you sent out various requests, when they were returned, or if you need to set a motion to compel to get the answers/documents.You should also put reminders in your calendar of the return due dates.For this class it may seem stupid to do this step and I agree but when you are working in a law firm you will have 50 to 100 cases all in different stages of litigation.Unless you have a perfect memory you will need a tracking system.This document I attached isn't perfect but it worked for me.
The sample interrogatories for an auto accident, that are attached below, are some common questions generally used in a personal injury MVA (motor vehicle accident) case.This set has too many questions.Part of your assignment is to look up the maximum number of interrogatories that can be served per set.Once you know that answer, you should go through and pick that number of interrogatories and requests for production for the set you are to draft.
Hint:If you ask the interrogatory:What police department, if any, responded to the scene of the accident?, then the request for production:Produce a copy of the police report from the answer to interrogatory (put in #), should follow.
Not all of the questions or requests in the sample set are relevant to our case, take your time and choose wisely.You must have at least 15 interrogatories and 5 requests but feel free to have as many as the court rules allow.
I would suggest that you start with your template then copy and paste the info from Interrogatory doc.Once you have your form, copy and paste individual interrogatory questions and requests for production from the sample set into your pleading.Make sure your rogs are numbered correctly.
The name of the pleading is
PLAINTIFF'S FIRST SET OF INTERROGATORIES AND PRODUCTION REQUESTS TO DEFENDANT (it is at least 2 lines)
