What is discovery and how does electronic discovery differ from traditional discovery?
Discovery is the process by which both sides to a case are given the opportunity to learn about the facts of the case. Discovery can take many forms, such as written questions…, document requests, depositions, and subpoenas. Discovery is often said to be the way to avoid "trial by ambush." It allows both sides to be fully versed about the case to understand the facts, issues, damages and potential defenses and to generally prepare to go to trial.
