Sporck v. Peil
United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
759 F.2d 312 (1985)
Facts
In preparing for a deposition, the attorney for Charles Sporck (defendant) organized and grouped together selected documents of the thousands that had been produced. Raymond Peil (plaintiff) sought disclosure of the attorney’s specific groupings of documents. The attorney acknowledged that the individual documents were not protected under the work-product doctrine but argued that the groupings were part of the attorney’s selection process and thus were entitled to protection under the doctrine as opinion work product.
