Informal Discovery

It shall be the duty of every defense counsel, whether appointed or retained, to consult with the prosecutor assigned to the case in order to seek informal discovery. Such consultation shall take place prior to the time for the filing of pretrial motions as required in Juvenile Rule 47-I(c). The Clerk shall not accept motions for bills of particulars and for discovery under Rule 7(f) and 16 respectively of these Rules unless defense counsel certifies in writing that he has made a bona fide attempt to secure the necessary relief from the prosecutor on a voluntary basis and that the prosecutor has not complied with such request. COMMENT Substantially identical to SCR Crim 16-II.
