Paper discovery is about much more than slogging through endless boxes of documents and creating “great billables.” Effective discovery can reveal the weaknesses in an opponent’s case and expose the weaknesses in your own client’s case. Yet most associates approach document work with little enthusiasm or curiosity.

Chasing Paper reshapes negative attitudes about paper discovery, and offers concrete, practical tips on all aspects of paper discovery, including:

What to ask for in a document request
How to respond to document requests
How to review document requests
How to use the documents

It is a rare case that proceeds on testimony alone. The ability to home in on the best documents for your client's case is as important as the overarching strategy. Change the way you view--and do--paper discovery.
