Which item is typically included in DC's discovery production?

• A. documents and other tangible evidence
• B. appellate briefs
• C. sentencing orders
• D. jury instructions

Answer: (A)

Discovery is the pretrial phase where parties exchange information and evidence that may be used at trial. In DC's discovery production, the items you typically receive are documents and other tangible evidence—the actual materials the other side possesses that could support or undermine a claim or defense. This includes things like written records, emails, contracts, photos, physical objects, and other forms of evidence that can be inspected and analyzed.

Appellate briefs belong to the appeals process, not discovery; sentencing orders come after conviction and relate to punishment, not pretrial information sharing; and jury instructions are prepared for and delivered to juries during trial, not produced in discovery.
