pretrial discovery

Discovery conducted before trial to reveal facts and develop evidence.

• Modern procedural rules have broadened the scope of pretrial discovery to prevent the parties from surprising each other with evidence at trial. [Cases: Federal Civil Procedure 1261; Pretrial Procedure 14, 25. C.J.S. Discovery §§ 2, 6, 10, 32, 36, 58.]
