About this template
This legal template is about a motion to compel discovery in a federal court. The Memorandum of Law accompanying the motion provides a comprehensive argument stating the reasons and legal basis for why the requesting party believes the opposing party should be compelled to provide certain discovery materials. The memorandum aims to convince the court that the opposing party has failed to comply with their obligations to produce relevant evidence, and therefore, the court should intervene and order the opposing party to produce the requested materials. It discusses the applicable legal standards, relevant case law, and demonstrates how the opposing party's failure to produce the requested discovery negatively impacts the requesting party's ability to present a fair and complete case. This template guides the drafting of a persuasive legal memorandum to support a motion to compel discovery, specifically in federal courts.
