← Discovery-Demand Pack

Federal CDs serving the comprehensive Rule 16 demand at arraignment + Rule 16 conference.

Discovery Demand — Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16

Pre-drafted Rule 16(a)(1) demand letter covering statements, prior record, documents, reports, expert disclosures + reply-brief framework.

Serve the full Rule 16(a)(1) menu — defendant statements, prior record, documents-material-to-defense, examination + test reports, expert summaries — on a single demand instead of three rolling letters.

“Upon a defendant's request, the government must permit the defendant to inspect and to copy or photograph books, papers, documents, data, photographs, tangible objects, buildings or places.”

What this template gives you that the canned-form-book demand does not.
  1. 01.

    Most Rule 16 demands miss the (a)(1)(G) expert summary and (a)(1)(F) examination/test reports — both are routinely under-disclosed by AUSAs.

  2. 02.

    Reply-brief framework covers government's standard 'open file' deflection, work-product objection, and (a)(2) Jencks delay.

  3. 03.

    The 'material to preparing the defense' standard from Yeager / Armstrong is the lever for objects-in-custody beyond the government's case-in-chief.

Frequently asked questions.

What does the demand contain?

Eight sections: cover (your case identifier + jurisdiction stamped on), scope of demand, the lead authority's verbatim holding with source URL, attaching-precedent citations, the pre-drafted demand language (~250 words editable), reply-brief framework anticipating government opposition, response deadlines + local-rule overlay, and the methods + source URLs bibliography.

Is this legal advice?

No. The template is a pre-trial litigation aid modeled on the published constitutional + statutory authority for federal-criminal discovery. Counsel of record adapts the demand language to the controlling circuit's doctrine and the facts of the case before serving.

How fast is delivery?

No. Every citation in every demand carries a source URL stored alongside. Lead authorities are Brady 373 U.S. 83, Giglio 405 U.S. 150, Fed. R. Crim. P. 16, and Henthorn 931 F.2d 29. All public-domain, linked to Cornell LII or law.resource.org.
