No one knows more about discovery than Rick Marcus. Over the course of his career, Rick has authored the defining scholarship on our American procedural institution, from his early work on reforms to contain discovery costs to his recent insights on proportionality. His articles don’t just analyze discovery—they have shaped it, influencing both judicial decisions and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure themselves through his service on the Advisory Committee. It was discovery that connected Rick and me, joining us in the small fraternity of academics who find this procedural device genuinely interesting.
