The Answer is A significant step in the planning of interrogatories is determining what information suitable for interrogatories is needed from the opponent. Ultimately the attorney will decide this issue, but you
will often have responsibility for initiating the work. The following steps provide a guideline for this task:
(a) Keep the task clearly in mind, noting any special directions. In this case the task is to draft interrogatories to be submitted to Mercury Parcel Service.
(b) Review the case file including the pleadings and any other documents exchanged, as well as information obtained through informal investigation. Note areas that need clarification or more information. Review the complaint, answer, and counterclaim found in Chapters 4 and 6. Also review the information obtained in the informal investigation stages found in Chapter 3.
(c) Review or determine the elements of the cause of action according to the method outlined in
Chapter 3. Also, know the elements of any alleged defense and counterclaim. Review the broad goals to be accomplished against the defendant at trial.
