Discovery can be defined as the facts and information about the case from both sides of the case in order to prepare for trial. Methods of discovery: depositions, interrogations, production of documents, physical/mental examination, requests for admissions. E-discovery - is information stored electronically such as a patient health record.

A case is dismissed when a court or prosecutor ends a court case without finding the defendant guilty or imposing liability. A dismissal can occur at any point during the legal process, including before, during, or after trial.

Case Dismissed

The defendant's request for a Motion to Dismiss means the defendant proposes that the plaintiff's complaint does not represent a cause of action recognized by law.

Once all posttrial motions are decided and judgment is entered, the losing party in the trial court may pursue an appeal. On appeal, a case may be affirmed, modified, or reversed. Furthermore, a new trial may be ordered. The written opinion issued by the appellate court provides reasons for the decision made by that court. Any party losing on appeal from a decision of an intermediate appellate court may then choose to pursue an appeal with that state’s court of last resort or with the U.S. Supreme Court.

Status hearings are more specific to the progress of each side and setting future deadlines.

Status Hearing

Pre-trial hearings are typically set before the trial date to discuss the status of each side's case and can include a wide range of issues, including evidence review, legal motions, and plea bargaining.
