The following excerpt is from Yamada v. Nobel Biocare Holding AG, 821 F.3d 1058 (9th Cir. 2016):
Our adversarial system of justice is premised on the well-tested principle that truthas well as fairnessis best discovered by powerful statements on both sides of the question. Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 84, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988) (citation omitted). Accordingly, we have previously held that an opposing party has a right to see the timesheets on which a district court relied in issuing a fee award.
