Lawsuit against Rams, NFL mired in evidence disputes ahead of October trial in St. Louis

ST. LOUIS — Disputes over documents and depositions are dominating the legal playbooks of those facing off in one of the region's closely watched court cases.

Despite an ongoing pandemic that has severely handicapped the court system, the civil trial pitting St. Louis and St. Louis County against the city's departed professional football team and the rest of the National Football League remains set for Oct. 25.

With fewer than nine months before kickoff in St. Louis Circuit Court, lawyers on all sides are squabbling over whom they may depose and what documents are required in a scramble to meet an April 2 deadline to produce all evidence in the case.
