Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The informal and formal exchange of information between the prosecutor and defense attorney prior to trial is commonly referred to as "discovery." This includes sharing evidence, witness statements, and other relevant information that may impact the case. Reciprocity refers to mutual exchange, but does not specifically apply to the legal discovery process. Prosecutorial disclosure and Brady exchange both refer to specific types of information sharing, but are not as comprehensive as the overall process of discovery.
