A. Efforts to obtain discoverable information or material should be made through the discovery process outlined in CR 33, 34 and 36, prior to seeking an order of the Court to require information or materials to be turned over to the other party. Nothing in these Rules should be interpreted as prohibiting any party from seeking discovery as outlined in the Civil Rules.

B. Copies of interrogatories, request for production and requests for admissions made pursuant to CR 33, 34 and 36, shall be filed with the Clerk. Answers to interrogatories, requests for production and requests for admissions shall not be filed unless otherwise directed by the Court. Upon serving answers to any of the foregoing, counsel for the answering party shall file a simple certificate of service and shall identify any matter left unanswered.

C. Counsel shall make a good faith effort to resolve all discovery disputes. A motion to compel discovery, for entry of a protective order, or for sanctions pursuant to CR 26 or CR 37 shall be filed only if counsel are unable to resolve a discovery dispute. The party seeking entry of an order compelling discovery, entry of a protective order, or for sanctions shall include a “certificate of good faith” signed by counsel which details the efforts to resolve the dispute and that such dispute cannot be resolved without intervention of the Court
