A checklist itemizing the procedural requirements of the Mandatory Initial Discovery Pilot Project. The checklist is designed to be helpful to judges presiding over pilot cases and to attorneys participating in pilot cases as pilot requirements apply to the initial stages of discovery. The pilot project is scheduled to begin in participating courts as early as May 1, 2017.

Currently there are two courts participating in this pilot project:

• The District of Arizona (D. Ariz. Checklist, effective May 1, 2017)
• The Northern District of Illinois (N.D. Ill. Checklist, effective June 1, 2017)
