The use of discovery was a significant advance in litigation practice before the MSPB following the passage of the 1978 Civil Service Reform Act. Proper prehearing discovery is critical to administrative litigation, but many cases are defended by agencies without discovery. The result can be failure to properly develop defenses concerning the underlying merits of the case as well as the remedy demanded by the MSPB appellant. This book provide sample interrogatories, document requests, instructions, and definitions, all topically classified by the principal types of cases within the jurisdiction of the MSPB. The discovery materials presented are patterned after actual cases. The samples are meant to provide ideas for discovery and to allow the practitioner the opportunity to review the approaches taken by other attorneys who have litigated similar cases. In the CD-ROM versions of the books, materials can be copied for use in drafting discovery requests in pending litigation. The author has decades of experience in the daily litigation of federal sector MSPB cases.
