Motion practice is an integral part of civil litigation. An understanding of both the procedural and substantive issues that can arise during motion practice is essential to advancing any case. Whether you are an experienced litigator or are just starting out, an overview of basic knowledge and an update on new rules and practices is crucial to evaluating the utility of a contemplated motion and to engaging in effective and successful motion practice. Learn from a distinguished panel of judges and experienced practitioners about how to decide whether to file a motion, when to file it, and tips for an effective oral argument. This program will primarily cover motions for expedited relief (temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction), motions to dismiss, summary judgment motions, discovery motions, and motions for sanctions. The panelists will provide expert insight and guidance to help you hone your motion practice skills, with a focus on civil practice in New York State and Federal Courts.
