Informal Discovery Conference For Personal Injury Courts {LACIV 239}

LASC CIV 239, INFORMAL DISCOVERY CONFERENCE FORM FOR PERSONAL INJURY COURTS (Department 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32). This form used in the Los Angeles Superior Court to request an Informal Discovery Conference (IDC). An IDC is a meeting between the parties to a lawsuit and a court-appointed discovery referee, where the parties can discuss and attempt to resolve discovery disputes. Discovery is the legal process by which parties to a lawsuit obtain information from each other in order to prepare for trial. Discovery can be a complex and time-consuming process, and disputes often arise between the parties regarding the scope, timing, or method of discovery. The Informal Discovery Conference form, LASC CIV 239, provides a way for parties to request a conference with a discovery referee in an attempt to resolve these disputes. The form requires information about the parties, the case, and the specific discovery dispute, and must be filed with the court clerk in the appropriate department. The goal of an Informal Discovery Conference is to encourage cooperation between the parties and to facilitate the efficient and orderly exchange of information. The discovery referee may provide guidance to the parties, and may make recommendations to the court regarding the resolution of the dispute. For Optional Use. www.FormsWorkflow.com
