LITIGATORS\u2014Discovery is short for discovery of the truth.

So why is the Civil Rules Reform Committee proposing to gut plaintiffs\u2019 discovery rights\u2014just as AI is making document review faster, smarter, and more affordable than ever?

Once this fundamental right is taken away, it won\u2019t come back. And when it\u2019s gone, it\u2019s not Bay Street clients who will suffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n



If you act for small businesses shut out of markets, vulnerable individuals fighting powerful institutions, victims of fraud, abuse, and negligence\u2014where the evidence is buried deep, fight back.

Don\u2019t fear the repercussions. Fear what happens if we stay silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
