requests for production

Requests for production are formal legal requests made by one party to another in a lawsuit, asking for specific documents or evidence relevant to the case. This process is part of the discovery phase, where both sides gather information to prepare for trial. The requesting party typically outlines the documents needed, such as emails, contracts, or records. The recipient is obligated to respond, either by providing the requested materials or explaining why they cannot. This mechanism helps ensure transparency and allows both parties to build their arguments based on shared evidence.
