Answer to Question 1

Discovery is the legal process lawyers use to obtain information about all aspects of a case. Its goal is to find information that will help prepare a case for trial or settlement. An interrogatory is a form of discovery that includes a list of written questions that must be answered by the party upon being served (either defendant or plaintiff); that party must swear, under oath, that the answers provided are accurate to the best of that party's knowledge.

Answer to Question 2
