Discovery of Documentary and Other Evidence in a Foreign Country

There are substantial differences between attitudes in the United States and those in foreign jurisdictions towards litigation in general and pretrial discovery in particular. Thus, in the United States, there is a breadth of pretrial discovery that cannot be found in any other legal system. Moreover, factual investigation in the United States is largely controlled and conducted by the attorneys for the litigants rather than by the judiciary which, in many other legal systems, is responsible for such investigations in a litigated matter
