Fact Light Litigation Area
Out of litigation areas that BigLaw firms do, which area is the least fact/discovery heavy? For example, I would think that there is more discovery in securities litigation than in employment (not really sure that is true). Thanks!

Re: Fact Light Litigation Area
While employment may have less discovery (I cant speak to that) all subspecialties have discovery and juniors bear the brunt of it.
Discovery in biglaw is the majority of litigation, regardless of the subspecialty. Do you have a profound aversion to discovery? If so lit may not be for you

Re: Fact Light Litigation Area
Government contracts litigation is very light on discovery. The same is probably true for other areas of law that involve administrative records.

Re: Fact Light Litigation Area
Tax cases tend to be fairly discovery light.

Re: Fact Light Litigation Area
That's right—admin law cases usually don't involve discovery. Not to say the facts don't matter or you're arguing pure legal questions all the time. You see far more more arbitrary and capricious arguments than statutory interpretation or constitutional arguments.Bnonymous wrote:Government contracts litigation is very light on discovery.
