Motions Can Make or Break Your Case

When you want a judge (or party) to take a specific action in your lawsuit, you must use the proper procedure (motions) to present the request to the court. Failure to properly present — or respond to — motions is a major reason that people who represent themselves in court ("pro se" or "pro per") lose their case.

Tutorial Preview

If you are:

  • Representing yourself in a lawsuit; or
  • An attorney representing a client in a lawsuit;

Then you must understand that motions drive almost every step in the litigation process — and are therefore crucial to your case.

A motion is a formal request asking the judge to make a particular ruling or order in a lawsuit. Self-represented parties — and even attorneys — often make detrimental mistakes when preparing, opposing, and arguing motions.

In Motions: Practice and Procedure, litigation attorneys Neer Lerner and Elliott Malone share practical insights and knowledge about motions that can help you protect your case, strengthen your defenses, and incorporate strategic measures at every stage of your lawsuit.

You'll learn:

  • Motion basics in simple language;
  • Types of motions and when to use them;
  • Essential tips for writing an effective motion;
  • The significance of a motion to dismiss or motion for summary judgment; and

Other insights and strategies to help you understand the mechanisms, advantages, and best practices for court motions — with writing tips to help you present them as persuasively as possible.

Essential Tips for Writing an Effective Motion

This video series will break down the typical components of a motion — so you can prepare to write your own — in accordance with your court’s local rules.

Once you have an understanding of motion structure and different types of motions, you'll learn how to write your motion professionally and persuasively. Poorly constructed motions can annoy the judge and decrease your chances of achieving your lawsuit goals.

You'll learn helpful writing tips, including:

  • How to write a strong introduction paragraph to grab the judge’s attention and effectively lay out your arguments;
  • What information (and words) to avoid in your motion if you don't want to irritate the judge or embarrass yourself;
  • Why your credibility is your strongest asset in your case — and how to avoid damaging mistakes in your motion that can destroy it;
  • How to use headings and subheadings to make it easy for the judge to find relevant information quickly; and
  • Many other tips for eloquently writing (and opposing) motions with the goal of putting yourself in the best position to achieve a favorable ruling.

Your purchase includes a downloadable sample complaint to study and use as inspiration for your case.

Sample Motions

In addition to video instruction, you will have access to the following sample motions that can inspire your own motions:

  • Motion to Dismiss
  • Motion to Compel Discovery Responses
  • Motion in Limine to Exclude Evidence at Trial

The Importance of Motions for Summary Judgment and Motions to Dismiss

If your opponent files a motion to dismiss (AKA demurrer) or a motion for summary judgment, you may be in danger of losing your case before ever going to trial — unless you can plan and prepare a strong opposition to the motion.

Motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment are often the most challenging to oppose — and either one could end your lawsuit before it ever goes to trial.

On this crucial topic, you will learn:

  • The number one reason self-represented parties lose their case when the opposing party files a motion to dismiss or motion for summary judgment— and what to do about it;
  • Common legal grounds to file a motion to dismiss a lawsuit for being legally deficient;
  • What courts consider in ruling on a motion to dismiss or motion for summary judgment — and how you can structure your opposition accordingly;
  • Why you must review the opponent's opposition to your motion before going to the court hearing for oral arguments — with a video simulation of a fictitious lawsuit where you'll see how a party wins his motion for summary judgment; and
  • Additional valuable tips and insights regarding motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment that can help protect you from your opponent and better assist you to prepare and oppose critical motions.

Whether you are a plaintiff or defendant — an attorney or a party representing yourself ("pro se" or "pro per") — knowledge of motions is critical to a successful outcome in your case.

Study Motions: Practice and Procedure, together with your jurisdiction’s local rules, and you’ll be better equipped to understand how motions work and how to prepare (or oppose) motions to achieve your lawsuit goals.

I wonderfully versatile athletically fitting summer polo
Color: Lightbluedot, Size: Small
Don't really have any down sides on this polo. It's lightweight yet surprisingly wind resistant, even on cooler days im not losing all my body heat at the slightest breeze. It feels more like a cotton blend while performing like a polyester with the stretch and drying performance. The fit is very athletic, with just enough room in the chest and shoulders while hugging close to the midsection. This polo is quality both in looks, with the collar holding shape and appearance, the faux chest pocket ups the look of the shirt without being a clunky piece with a pocket that bunches up. Im thrilled with this polo and am buying more colors to have variety with this shirt. Wonderful wonderful value for the money if you're looking for a versatile close fitting shirt without hindering mobility

Great shirt with a couple of very insignificant flaws
Color: Bluedotwhite, Size: Small, Color: Bluedotwhite, Size: Small
Stylish, breathable, great fit, vibrant color, nice attention to detail with the colorway. Check out my photos for a look at the way the pocket colors and fabrics match that of the collar button, and the tiny perforations in the main fabric that allow you to stay cool in this shirt. There are a couple of spots where you can see flaws, but they're not significant enough to me to deduct a star. The flaws are the thread sticking out of the button, and how the collar has a bit of an indentation in it and isn't totally level smooth. It's hard to figure out how to iron the collar without creasing it in a bad location, so this is the way it looks after ironing with my best effort. All in all, as I've found with the Alex Vando brand, I enjoy their polo/golf shirts a lot - the fit, look, pretty much everything.

Comfortable summer wear. Runs a little big and long
Color: Blueoval, Size: Small, Color: Blueoval, Size: Small
This is a very comfortable polo. I can tell from the features that the shirt is pretty much designed for golf. - Very light weight like tees for runners. It is see through if not for the printed pattern. - Definitely breathable, perfect for dry weather region. Will keep you dry throughout the round and does not cling onto the body to inhibit motion. Structure stays crisp throughout the round. - Stretchable, does not restrict motion during golf, sweat or not. - Longer length to stay tuck in. Note: - It runs big overall. The model shown is 6’1” and he is wearing a Medium. Seeing that, I bought a Small even though I normally wear medium. It fits my upper body perfectly with a little room to spare. - It also runs a little long. It will definitely stay tucked in throughout the round. However, it is too long for me to wear it untucked. I am 5’ 8”. Overall I like the shirt’s quality and a reasonable price for a golf shirt. It would have been perfect had it not been a little long for untuck wear.

Stylish, Comfortable, and Very Versatile Shirt
Color: Navygeometry, Size: Medium, Color: Navygeometry, Size: Medium
This is a very nice‑looking shirt and it fits perfectly for my size. The design really stands out, and the blue color with the white accents looks sharp and clean without being too bold. The collar and buttons are good quality and add a nice, finished touch to the shirt. It feels well made and holds its shape nicely when worn. Comfort is another big plus—it’s comfortable enough to wear without an undershirt, which is great for warmer days. What I really like is how versatile it is. You can easily dress it up for business casual with a sport coat, wear it with khakis or jeans, as well as for golfing. It works well in a lot of different settings without looking out of place. It comes in at a good price point for the quality, and it would make a nice gift as well. Overall, a great‑looking, comfortable shirt that offers excellent value and flexibility.

Comfortable Polo Shirt
Color: Lightbluedot, Size: X-Large, Color: Lightbluedot, Size: X-Large
This shirt arrived quickly, and was vacuum wrapped (see photo). The sizing was appropriate, and the fit is comfortable. It still looks great after a few times through the wash. Recommended.
