CT Calls for Broader Initial Disclosures

All of the judges in the District of Connecticut are now using Initial Discovery Protocols in most non-class action employment cases. In applicable cases, the Initial Discovery Protocols supersede parties’ initial disclosure obligations under Rule 26(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Both the plaintiff and the defendant must respond to the Initial Discovery Protocols within 30 days after the defendant has submitted a responsive pleading or motion, unless the court rules otherwise.
