<p begin="00:00:05.60" end="00:00:10.60">A rather easy form of discovery in a civil case is called “interrogatories.”</p>
<p begin="00:00:10.70" end="00:00:18.10">An interrogatory is a series of written questions exchanged between parties that must be answered under oath.</p>
<p begin="00:00:18.20" end="00:00:26.50">Depositions can be taken of any potential witness, but interrogatories are limited to only parties to the lawsuit.</p>
<p begin="00:00:26.60" end="00:00:30.30">Often the questions are very broad and very detailed.</p>
<p begin="00:00:30.40" end="00:00:37.50">The answers provided the opposing party with information that’s vital to the preparation of the case for trial.</p>
<p begin="00:00:37.60" end="00:00:42.90">The questions and answers need not be of a type that would be admissible at trial.</p>
<p begin="00:00:43.00" end="00:00:47.10">Therefore, the questions are often extremely personal in nature.</p>
<p begin="00:00:47.20" end="00:00:54.70">The answers are given under oath, and if an answer differs at trial, it could be troublesome for the answering party.</p>
<p begin="00:00:54.80" end="00:00:58.50">This legal minute is brought to you by the Ohio State Bar Foundation.</p>
