   Discovery in Practice

   This is a tutorial lecture that introduces discovery under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Fist, I give an overview of five of the most important discovery devices, namely depositions, interrogatories, document requests, physical and mental examinations, and requests for admission. Second, I briefly describe mandatory initial disclosure obligations. Next, I discuss the three components that define the scope of discovery: relevance, privilege, and proportionality. And finally I discuss motions for protective orders, motions to compel, and sanctions--all in the context of how litigators handle discovery requests that are improper. Because this episode focuses on the basic issues of practice, I do not cover here deep history, ethical constraints, or more advanced issues of e-discovery, production methods, 30(b)(6) depositions, etc.

   Judge Katharine Parker Interview (Rule 34 +)

   This episode is a recording of my conversation with Judge Katharine H. Parker, Magistrate Judge for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Judge Parker is an authority on, among other things, electronic discovery. Our conversation here focuses primarily on lawyers' duties under Fed. R. Civ. P. 34 (and, more broadly, the scope of discovery under Rule 26).  The interview took place by teleconference on May 17, 2021. Because we recorded our conversation with Zoom, the quality of the audio is satisfactory, but not ideal.

   Claim and Issue Preclusion -- in 40 minutes

   This episode is a lecture tutorial that offers an overview of the doctrines of claim preclusion and issue preclusion.  These doctrines are also know as res judicata and collateral estoppel, respectively.  (Confusingly,) These doctrines are also sometimes jointly referred to as "res judicata."
