Course Description

Discovery is a critical and effective part of any litigation – when conducted properly. Annoying and abusive discovery techniques could have negative consequences, and possibly even lead to sanctions. From disrespect and profanity in depositions to the other party refusing to produce requested documents, it’s important to be prepared for any situation. In this half-day class, Attorney at Law Katherine Atkinson will provide you with a grounding in the Federal Rules of Evidence, as well as the procedural methods for the MSPB and EEOC. Ms. Atkinson will offer guidance on all forms of written discovery – interrogatories, document requests, depositions, and requests for admission – and she’ll review possible sanctions and how best to avoid them.

Attendees will learn how to:

  • Most effectively request and respond to requests for written discovery.
  • Recognize actions that could lead to sanctions.
  • Differentiate between the discovery procedures of the MSPB and EEOC.
