It includes facts but not an attorney's mental impressions. Ordinary work product is generally exempt from discovery or other compelled disclosure.

Examples: Examples of ordinary work product include documents, notes, and recordings that were created by a lawyer or their team during the course of their work on a case.

These notes would be considered ordinary work product and would be exempt from discovery unless the party seeking discovery can show a substantial need for the materials.

Explanation: Ordinary work product is an important concept in the legal field because it protects the work of lawyers and their teams from being disclosed to the opposing party.

These notes would be considered ordinary work product and would be exempt from discovery unless the party seeking discovery can show a substantial need for the materials.
