To get information from the other side and use it as part of your trial, you must follow court rules and ask for information and documents in writing, using a specific format. Some forms of discovery are relatively easy to do and involve using court forms with standard questions. Others are more difficult and benefit from getting assistance from a lawyer.
There are other types of discovery as well, such as requests for physical (medical) or psychiatric examination. These can be complex and expensive. You can get more information about these types of discovery from a lawyer or law library.
As part of discovery, sometimes you need to have an individual (or company) who is not a party to the case produce documents or business records. To do this, you use a subpoena.

After the pleading step of the case is over, the next step is for both sides to collect and send each other information about the case to prepare for trial. This is called discovery. Some things to do to get ready for trial can be done on your own, like talking to people who may be your witnesses at the trial, taking pictures, or gathering certified copies of records. But most discovery is formal and has rules to follow. Call the Court and speak to a Clerk or visit a Court Help Center, if you have questions. Formal discovery requires the parties to show their evidence to each other before the trial if asked to do so. The discovery asked for must be connected to the claims in the case. Discovery information is not filed with the court.
A party can object to a discovery demand if he or she thinks that the information asked for has nothing to do with the case, or is not clear, or asks for way too much information that is not needed. The objection is made to the court by written papers called a motion or an order to show cause. The court papers should say all the reasons that the person thinks the discovery demand is wrong. The objection to discovery must be made before the time to answer the discovery demand. Read How to Ask the Court for Something to learn about motions and orders to show cause.
If a party tries to submit evidence at the trial that should have been shared with the other side during discovery, the court can refuse to allow the evidence into the case. Related Information:
Each party must automatically provide additional documents and information as they become known if the information is something that must be disclosed or if information of that type has already been asked for during discovery. If a party fails to provide information that should have been disclosed or fails to provide discoverable information if asked for it, the judge might not allow the party to use that information at trial.
Standard discovery and extraordinary discovery. Depending on the amount of damages claimed, a party is entitled to a certain amount of standard discovery, meaning the number of depositions, interrogatories, requests for admission, and requests for the production of documents. If a party needs more than the standard amount, the parties can stipulate to extraordinary discovery or file a motion asking the judge to order extraordinary discovery.
What can be discovered? URCP 26(b). Parties may discover any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the claim or defense of any party if the discovery satisfies the standards of proportionality.
Meet and Confer. Before filing a motion for extraordinary discovery, a motion to compel discovery or a motion for a protective order, the parties must meet (in person or by telephone) to try to resolve or narrow the issues without court involvement.
Length and Attachments. The Statement of Discovery Issues cannot be more than 4 pages long. The party filing it must attach to it a copy of the disclosure, request for discovery or the response at issue. The party also must file a proposed order with their Statement of Discovery Issues.
Motion or stipulation for extraordinary discovery. URCP 26(c)(6) and URCP 37(a)(1)(b). To obtain discovery beyond standard discovery a party must file, before the close of standard discovery and after reaching the limits of standard discovery:
Motions to compel disclosure or discovery. URCP 37. If a party does not respond to a discovery request, the party seeking discovery can file a motion asking the judge to compel discovery and impose sanctions. The party seeking discovery must show the judge that the information is discoverable and that discovery is proportional to the case. A motion may also be filed to compel disclosures. If a party fails to disclose, that party may not be able to use the documents or information at trial.
Motions for protective orders from disclosure of discovery. URCP 37. If a party is seeking to discover documents or information that are not subject to discovery, the party from whom discovery is sought can file a motion asking the judge for an order protecting the documents or information. The party seeking discovery must show the judge that the documents or information are discoverable and that the discovery is proportional to the case.
Within 7 days after the close of fact discovery, the party who has the burden of proof on any issue must disclose to the other parties the following information about any expert retained to testify about that issue:
Within 7 days after that, the party opposing the expert may elect either to depose the expert or to require a written report from the expert. The deposition must occur or the report must be provided within 28 days after the election is made. If no election is made, then no further discovery of the expert is permitted. The party offering the expert pays for the report; the party opposing the expert pays for the deposition. The deposition may not exceed four hours.
A party must make disclosures and respond to discovery requests based on the information then known or reasonably available to the party. If a party learns that a disclosure or discovery response is incomplete or incorrect in some important way, the party must timely provide the additional or correct information. The supplemental disclosure or response must state why the additional or correct information was not previously provided.
If a party fails to disclose or to supplement a disclosure or discovery response, that party may not use the undisclosed witness, document or material at any hearing or trial unless the failure is harmless or the party shows good cause for the failure.
