Discovery Process Abuse Solutions
Summary
In civil rights cases, discovery can be limited to protect sources and methods. To challenge this, demonstrate misuse to conceal misconduct, show the informations necessity, and argue that nondisclosure harm outweighs disclosure harm. Public records and financial documents are generally available, while sensitive sources and methods are protected. You can file a motion for expedited discovery separately or with your complaint in U.S. District Court.Full Conversation
