What is NOT typically a function of discovery proceedings?

Discovery proceedings primarily aim to gather evidence, understand the scope of the case, and prepare for trial. This process includes gathering evidence from parties involved, preparing witness lists to outline who may testify or provide evidence, and identifying potential evidence issues that could arise during the trial or affect the case's outcome. However, these proceedings do not typically involve rehearing case arguments.

Rehearing case arguments refers to revisiting the legal and factual issues in the case as if it were being argued again. Discovery is more about fact-finding and less about formal legal arguments; therefore, it does not include this function. The focus of discovery is on transparency and preparation for trial rather than rearguing the case itself, making this choice the one that does not align with the typical functions of discovery proceedings.
