O'CONNELL v. Cowan

MEMORANDUM OPINION OF THE COURT

This is an appeal from an opinion and order of the Court of Appeals denying a petition for a writ to prohibit the trial court from enforcing its order requiring a former prosecutor to turn over her litigation file and to be deposed by a former defendant she prosecuted in district court. Because the trial court did not evaluate the request for discovery of the prosecutor’s opinion work product under the heightened compelling need standard, we reverse the order denying the writ and remand to the Court of Appeals for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
