Where do I get the discovery for these cases?
In order to access the discovery provided by the Springfield Police Department and the Hampden County District Attorney’s Office, you must first sign this protective order.
Once you have signed and submitted the protective order, we will give you information on how to begin searching the discovery. There are thousands of pages, so an e-discovery tool is necessary to make it usable.
Where can I get more information while waiting for the protective order and e-discovery access?
