Filing Discovery In Maryland

Summary

Discovery is a crucial part of the legal process where parties exchange information relevant to the case. In Maryland, the process involves identifying necessary documents, drafting discovery requests such as interrogatories, requests for production, and requests for admissions, and filing them with the court. The opposing party typically has 30 days to respond. Templates for discovery requests can be tailored for specific cases, including administrative hearings. For legal claims, such as pay disparity or repair malpractice, a statement of claim outlines the plaintiffs allegations, jurisdiction, facts, claims, and relief sought. Legal advice from a local attorney is recommended for personalized guidance.
