eDiscovery
Electronic Discovery (“eDiscovery”) is a way for a defendant’s attorney to receive electronic copies of police reports and other evidence in the defendant’s criminal case in San Luis Obispo County. Discovery, whether eDiscovery or hard copy, is not available until an attorney becomes the attorney of record for the case. Therefore, Discovery is not available before the case has gone to court.
All defense attorneys, and law firms must complete this form and submit to the District Attorney’s office in order to receive eDiscovery. Failure to register for eDiscovery may lead to a delay in obtaining discovery and additional cost for production and delivery of physical discovery.
PROCEDURE: Complete, sign, and submit this form to [email protected]. Once the request is processed, you will receive an email asking you for verification. Once you have verified and the process is complete, you will be able to access eDiscovery through a link sent to you by an email from our case management system.
NOTICE: Misrepresentation of identity or fraudulent use of the eDiscovery system will result in revocation of access to eDiscovery and a requirement for physical discovery with additional delay.
The attorney of record for a specific case will be added to our case management system. A law firm may identify one point of contact for eDiscovery for all of your firm’s cases if desired. Please make that clear on this form.
