I’ve been seeing comments on other forums that say Dominions Lawyers can structure their suit in such a way as to prevent discovery. Is this true?
Simply, no. There is no longer trial by ambush (as a country law professor said while teaching about discovery). “If you don’t know what the other side has, you are not doing your job in discovery.”
Um, well, it worked for the left against Trumps lawyers for the past two months, especially in Wisconsin.
......I’m not a lawyer but I’ve endured, as a developer, in Liberal Austin, nearly 50 years of non stop litigation over many projects. Along that path I’ve also withstood and endured agonizing discovery requiring thousands of man hours to respond to from clients on both sides and their attorneys.
I can tell you as a result of that experience that anything on any discovery motion can be challenged by the opposing side and they MAY, and often do, get “protective orders” which means, in effect, they don’t have to respond to your question or your motion to produce. It’s all up to the judge and often they are bias one way or another.
