Disability Discrimination Defense — Drafting Discovery Responses
How a defense team built objection-ready responses for four defendants from an 88-document record, then handed the attorney a client-meeting checklist.
Outcome Snapshot
Full discovery-response drafting workflow. Four defendants, every shell objection-ready.
A defense team responding to written discovery for four defendants needed every response shell framed with the right objections before the client meeting. Using Inquisita, they indexed the full case record, extracted the firm's objection patterns from prior responses, and inserted attorney-approved objections into each shell. The team then produced a client-meeting prep memo so the attorney could spend the meeting entirely on the substantive facts.
How it was done — 4-step workflow
Ingest and extract objection patterns
Inquisita indexed the case record and the firm's example responses, building a reusable objection-template library organized by discovery type so the boilerplate matched the firm's house style.
88 documents — template library builtMap the shell documents
Each defendant's shell .docx was unpacked and mapped to locate every response placeholder, confirming the count matched the requests served so nothing would be left blank.
4 defendants' shells mappedPropose objections for approval
Proposed objections were grouped by request and by pattern and presented for attorney sign-off. Repetitive request blocks were handled as groups to save review time, and nothing was inserted before approval.
Attorney checkpoint — nothing inserted unapprovedInsert and build the prep memo
Inquisita inserted the approved objections into each shell behind the “subject to and without waiving” language, then drafted a client-meeting prep memo organized by topic with a document checklist and the response deadline.
