Questions: Which of the following is true regarding tools of discovery? Interrogatories, depositions, and requests to produce documents are all tools of discovery available to all parties.

The answer is: Interrogatories, depositions, and requests to produce documents are all tools of discovery available to all parties.

Explanation for each option:

1. The only tool of discovery is interrogatories.

   • This is incorrect. While interrogatories are indeed a tool of discovery, they are not the only one. Other tools include depositions, requests to produce documents, and more.

2. Interrogatories and depositions are tools of discovery available to all parties, but summary motions and requests to produce documents are not tools of discovery.

   • This is partially correct but ultimately incorrect. Interrogatories and depositions are tools of discovery, but so are requests to produce documents. Summary motions, however, are not considered tools of discovery.

3. Interrogatories, depositions, and requests to produce documents are all tools of discovery available to all parties.

   • This is correct. These are all standard tools of discovery used in the legal process to gather information from the opposing party.

4. Depositions are the only tool of discovery available to plaintiffs, but defendants may use both interrogatories and depositions.

   • This is incorrect. Both plaintiffs and defendants have access to the same tools of discovery, including interrogatories, depositions, and requests to produce documents.

5. Summary motions, interrogatories, and depositions are tools of discovery available to all parties.

   • This is incorrect. While interrogatories and depositions are tools of discovery, summary motions are not. Summary motions are legal motions filed to resolve a case or a part of a case without a trial, not a method for discovering information.

In summary, the correct answer is that interrogatories, depositions, and requests to produce documents are all tools of discovery available to all parties.
