Description: Examine some of the most common abusive discovery tactics and receive practical advice on how to respond effectively. While some of these tactics are merely annoying, others may have serious consequences for your cases and clients. Tactics our experienced and insightful faculty will address include the following:
- Abusive or oppressive conduct toward witnesses
- Obstreperous behavior in defending depositions
- Overly burdensome or otherwise improper discovery requests
- Misleading or artfully crafted discovery responses
- Use and abuse of objections and “canned” responses
- Harassing and otherwise invasive discovery
- Uncivil conduct toward opposing counsel and others
While this class is intended for civil litigators with some experience, newer attorneys may also find it of interest.
