In discovery, you can build your case through: Interrogatories - You can submit factual questions to the defendant, which they must answer. Requests for admissions - Your lawyer can also send some facts to the defendant, which asks them to admit specific facts. Requests for production of documents - Your attorney will request any documents relevant to your case that are in the defendant's possession. These requests aim to obtain facts and evidence and learn of potential witnesses in your case. You may learn of people the defendant will call as witnesses and want to depose them.
