Week 5 Requests for Admission Civil Litigation Project
When a paralegal sends a request for admission to a defendant, they are asking that the second party admit to the truthfulness of some fact or opinion. If the statement is admitted, the statement is no longer in dispute, and by the use of this discovery tool, it simplifies a lawsuit by reducing the number and nature of the points in controversy.
Your supervising attorney has asked that you draft a set of requests for admission on behalf of your client Abel, against his brother Cain in our car accident case. Think about the facts that you would want Cain to admit, to simplify the lawsuit. You should have at least 10 separate requests for admission. A sample has been provided for you here.
