Discovery is a process where parties seek to acquire evidence from the opposing or third party relevant to claims stated in the lawsuit. Pre-trial discovery is permitted in the United States which entails written discovery and depositions. Written discovery can include interrogatories, requests for admissions, and requests for production of documents. A deposition refers to the questioning of a witness under oath in the presence of a stenographer, who prepares a written transcript.
