>>You get Discovery if the judge wants you to have Discovery? ‘Cause I’m thinking the Discovery may be pretty darn limited.<<
No. In civil cases, discovery is extremely wide-ranging and the party under discovery has to provide compelling evidence that it is not relevant. That is a legal standard and it is quite high.
It includes everything from yellow post it notes on the wall to phone call metadata. The machines at issue are certainly relevant.
great movie:
CLASS ACTION
defense buried one damming report in a REAL truckload of discovery DOCUMENTS so it wouldn’t be found
