Rule 26(b)(3)

Rule 26(b)(3) governs the scope of discovery in legal cases, especially regarding written information (like documents and records) that a party has created or received in anticipation of litigation or for trial. It generally protects such materials from being shared with the opposing side unless the requesting party shows a strong need and that the information isn't available elsewhere. The rule aims to balance the need for fair evidence exchange with the need to protect confidential or sensitive work product created during case preparation.
