No. Why isn’t there discovery being exchanged?

Client had little funds and did not want to conduct discovery.

Wouldn’t it be malpractice to go to trial without doing discovery?

Not a position I would ever want to be in. What I will say is that you might be able to get away with it if your the Plaintiff and have all of your own ducks in a row. However, if you are defense, you cannot possibly go to trial without conducting discovery at least as to damages.
