Discovery is an essential part of every case and is often the most important part of the litigation process. Arguably, cases are won or lost during the discovery phase. The scope of written and oral discovery available under the New Jersey Court Rules and case law is extremely broad and can be effectively (and sometime abusively) utilized in all types of civil cases. Litigators routinely ignore, avoid, and fail to conform to discovery requests and practice obstructionist tactics in all forms of discovery, while pushing the boundaries of discovery that they seek. There is often a thin line between permissible and harassing discovery.
These aspects of discovery will be candidly explored by experienced attorneys from
different perspectives and varied substantive practice areas. Make plans to attend this thorough and productive new workshop on civil discovery today.
