Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we're focusing on an important Civil Procedure topic: Discovery. We look at the process during which the parties exchange information with each other through required initial disclosures, the "meet and confer" conference, and depositions.
In this episode, we discuss:
- A review of the scope of discovery
- The initial disclosure requirements under Rule 26(a)
- The "meet and confer" conference under Rule 26(f)
- Rules specific to taking depositions of parties
- Analyzing two hypos involving discovery
