Discovery Request Drafter

Describe the case and select discovery types. Get back a starter outline of topics organized by category, ready for attorney refinement.

Starter outline only. Not filing-ready discovery. Every item must be reviewed and finalized by a licensed attorney.

Discovery outlines work from claims and fact patterns, not from party identities. You can use [CLIENT], [OPPOSING PARTY], or anonymized facts and still get a useful result.

Discovery types

Parties, claims, key facts, jurisdiction. Use placeholders for names.

Complaint, key documents, fact sheet. PDF, Word, image. Up to 3 files, 10 MB each.

Output will appear here once the tool runs.

Questions people ask first

What does the Discovery Drafter produce?

A starter outline of discovery topics organised by category — interrogatories, requests for production, requests for admission, deposition topics — based on the case description and the discovery types you select. The output is a topic list, not actual interrogatories ready to serve.

Will the output be ready to serve?

No. It's a thinking aid — “here are the topics worth covering” — not a draft you sign. You still write the actual interrogatories, draft the document requests, and tailor each item to your jurisdiction's rules and your case strategy.

How much case detail should I include?

Enough to make the topics specific — the parties (use placeholders), the cause of action, the disputed factual issues, the timeline. Don't paste privileged work product, your client's deposition transcript, or anything covered by attorney-client privilege.

Does it know my jurisdiction's discovery limits?

It is calibrated to federal practice and most state practice but does not enforce numeric limits (e.g. “25 interrogatories per side” under FRCP 33). You'll need to cull the topic list to fit your jurisdiction's caps. The output is comprehensive; pruning it is your job.

Can I use this for ediscovery topics?

Partially. It will flag the categories of electronic documents worth requesting (email, calendar, Slack, financial records, etc.) but not the technical specifics of a 30(b)(6) deposition topic on data custody or a request for a forensic image. For complex ESI, use this as an outline starter only.
