Motion for Summary Judgment

A motion for summary judgment is a legal document filed by a party in a lawsuit, requesting the court to rule in their favor without a full trial. The motion argues that there are no genuine disputes of material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The party filing the motion must present evidence and legal arguments to support their position. If the court grants the motion, it will issue a judgment in favor of the moving party, effectively ending the case or resolving certain issues before trial.
