Henry and Bundy cover the importance of voluntary disclosure in legal trials such as divorce. Henry and Bundy open the article by stating that “evidence in the possession of our clients should be prepared for early disclosure to the other side.” Despite the fact that federal and state discovery procedure laws back this up, “disclosures rules are too often overlooked or ignored, despite the many potential benefits of “showing them yours’ early on.”
Henry and Bundy provided further validation later in the article that voluntary disclosure is advantageous, saying: “Judges can reward voluntary disclosure. It is no secret that judges hate using precious court time to deal with discovery issues that could and should be handled by lawyers. In a typical discovery dispute, two lawyers stand before the judge and point fingers arguing (what) the other side has done wrong. Contrast this with counsel who has been voluntarily disclosing throughout the case then has to bring a discovery motion again her opponent, thus making the judge’s decision much easier.”
Heny and Bundy’s “Show Them Yours” article is the duo’s most recent written installation. The experienced and acclaimed Tulsa trial lawyers wrote three other article for the Tulsa Lawyer Magazine and another two for the Oklahoma Bar Journal in 2016.
