Capabilities / Summary judgment
Summary judgment
The motion between your client and a jury.
By invitation.
The heaviest motion in the case, answered in about a day. It used to take weeks.
Summary judgment opens to a small number of plaintiff-side firms. They use it on real matters, inside the same sealed environment as every other brief.
What your firm gets
- An opposition built from the whole record.
- A point-by-point response to the other side’s statement of facts.
- Your own statement of the facts in dispute.
- A trail from every sentence back to the evidence behind it.
How long it takes
Weeks of assembly become hours of review. Your lawyers sharpen the opposition. They do not assemble it.
What your lawyer keeps
Which disputes to press. What to concede. How the story is told. What goes to the court. The drafting runs on the swarm. The judgment is yours.
Where the record starts
The opposition can cite only what is in the record, and discovery is where the record is made. So your swarm starts from the motion the defense will file, and tells your lawyers what the record still lacks while discovery is open.
