Answer to Question 2

Discovery is designed to give both parties to a legal dispute a good idea about the evidence that will be presented at trial. Not only does this exchange of information prevent surprises, but also it facilitates resolutions without trial, such as the settlement of a civil case or a plea bargain in a criminal case. Discovery, however, is limited in criminal cases, since the prosecution bears the burden of persuasion to prove a defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and the defendant is protected against being forced to incriminate himself/herself. If the defense had to disclose evidence to the prosecution, the privilege against self-incrimination would be rendered meaningless.
