    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.

    Removal Jurisdiction in Practice

    This episode is a tutorial lecture about the practical application of the doctrine of removal. Removal jurisdiction describes the circumstances under which an action can be removed, by a defendant, from state court to federal court. The lecture focuses primarily on the application of Sections 1441 and 1446 of Title 28.  This is one of several episodes regarding related topics of federal subject matter jurisdiction.

    Original Subject Matter Jurisdiction in Practice

    This episode is a tutorial lecture about original subject matter jurisdiction in federal courts. It introduces--and focuses exclusively on--the doctrines of federal question under 28 USC 1331 and diversity under 28 USC 1332. I do not cover class actions nor any of other (less common) bases for original subject matter jurisdiction. In this episode I also focus on a very practical application of the contemporary doctrine.  Consult other episodes for lectures about historical context and for the other bases for federal subject matter jurisdiction (esp. supplemental and removal jurisdiction).

In circumstances when venue is improper, there are two follow-on options: dismissal or transfer. In circumstances when venue is proper, there are three follow-on options: proceed, dismissal, and transfer.
