Resources to assist counsel with interrogatories in federal civil litigation. Specifically, this Toolkit offers resources related to drafting, serving, answering, and objecting to interrogatories under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (FRCP) 33 in various types of litigation.
In federal civil litigation, interrogatories are written questions that must be answered in writing under oath. A party to a lawsuit uses interrogatories to obtain information in discovery from another party to the lawsuit. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 33 governs interrogatories in federal civil court.
This Toolkit offers resources for use in federal civil litigation that provide guidance on how to:
- Draft interrogatories.
- Answer interrogatories.
- Object to interrogatories.
- Serve interrogatories and responses, including objections, to interrogatories.
This Toolkit also provides links to sample interrogatories and responses for use in specific types of federal litigation (see Specific Types of Litigation). For interrogatories to use in areas of law that typically arise under state law in commercial litigation, see Interrogatories Toolkit (Commercial Litigation).
