You're gonna be sorry you asked

Via Amber comes the 123 meme, where you turn to page 123 of the book closest to you (in my case, Georgia Court Rules and Procedure--Federal, 2008 version) and post the 3 sentences immediately below the fifth sentence on the page. Here they are, as exciting as you can possibly imagine...it's Rule 37(c)(1)!

(c) Failure to Disclose; to Supplement an Earlier Response, or to Admit.

(1) Failure to Disclose or Supplement. If a party fails to provide information or identify a witness as required by Rule 26(a) or 26(e), the party is not allowed to use that information or witness to supply evidence on a motion, at a hearing, or at a trial, unless the failure was substantially justified or is harmless. In addition to or instead of this sanction, the court, on motion and after giving an opportunity to be heard:

(A) may order payment of the reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, caused by the failure;

(B) may inform the jury of the party's failure; and

(C) may impose other appropriate sanctions, including any of the orders listed in Rule 37(b)(2)(A)(i)-(vi).

One of my favorite rules, actually. Discovery sanctions for the win!

Don't you non-lawyers wish you were me?
