Date: January 30th, 2021 12:23 PM Author: seedy vivacious cumskin been doing it 6 years now and i still am kind of clueless. of the thousands of written discovery objections ive dutifully copy and pasted into discovery responses, not one of them has ever been of any consequence. what is the point of this whole charade? otherwise i do agree that it would be useful to teach law students. i used to stress about discovery responses as a first/second year bc i didn’t know wtf i was doing |

Date: March 31st, 2026 9:42 AM Author: unhinged 180 french chef I took a class on it in law school. Professor spent half the semester teaching us how to write the definition section of discovery requests to make sure we defined “documents” etc correctly. In practice those never apply because the requests pretty much just ask you to produce everything relevant about the accident or event and a judge would sanction you for not producing an email because the term document didn’t specifically include emails.
TLDR: my professor practiced law for 2 years, became a professor, and taught nothing of importance on discovery in the discovery class |
