When do you file a motion of discovery?

A motion for discovery is typically filed during the pre-trial phase of a legal case, when one party seeks to obtain evidence or information from the opposing party. This motion can be filed after the initial pleadings have been exchanged and is often used to compel the disclosure of documents, witness lists, or other relevant materials. The timing may vary based on jurisdictional rules and the specific circumstances of the case, but it is generally done well before the trial date to allow for adequate preparation.
