Product Description

The ability to successfully navigate a motion for summary judgment—in which a party argues that all or part of a case should be decided without the need for a trial—is a critical skillset in a litigator’s toolbox. For a moving party, a motion for summary judgment may be their last chance to stave off a potentially time-consuming, expensive, or risky trial. For a non-moving party, a well-briefed opposition to a motion for summary judgment can ensure that your client has their day in court.

Join our experts as we examine the best way to prepare your employment case for a successful motion for summary judgment or to defend against a motion for summary judgment, strategic considerations with regards to dispositive motion practice, and what to expect when arguing for or against a motion for summary judgment in court.
