What is a Request?

A request is a petition which signifies a desire to a person for something to be granted or done.  In legal contexts, a request refers to a formal demand or petition made by one party to another party, often seeking specific action, information, or relief. 

According to Black’s Law Dictionary, a request is defined as “a formal demand, made in writing, for something specific.” As such, requests are integral to legal proceedings, serving various purposes such as obtaining documents, admissions, examinations, or rulings from the court. 

Requests play a crucial role in litigation and legal proceedings by facilitating the exchange of information, clarifying issues in dispute, and advancing case management. Understanding the process and legal requirements for making requests is essential for attorneys, litigants, and parties involved in legal disputes to effectively advocate for their positions, and pursue remedies for their legal matter.
