interrogatories

Interrogatories are a formal set of written questions used in legal proceedings to gather information from the opposing party. They are part of the discovery process, allowing each side to obtain facts before a trial. The recipient must answer these questions in writing, under oath, within a specified time frame. Interrogatories aim to clarify issues, uncover evidence, and promote transparency, helping to prepare both parties for trial or settlement discussions. They are a key tool for lawyers to understand the case better and to strategize accordingly.
