The fust myth holds that issue-narrowing need not take place at the pleading stage, because other procedural tools—in particular, discovery, Reinvigorating_Pleadings_DU_Law_Review judicial management, and summary judgment—can focus the issues in dispute as efficiently and effectively as pleadings can In fact the opposite is truReinvigorating_Pleadings_DU_Law_Review
