Product Description

Any civil case filed in a Massachusetts Superior or District Court almost certainly requires some form of motion practice, whether seeking injunctive relief, to obtain discovery, to obtain a dispositive decision, or to limit evidence at trial. The motions themselves, the strategic decisions regarding when and whether to file them, and the court rules governing them can be some of the most complex and confusing areas of civil practice–and also can be the most interesting.

Join our expert litigators as we look at the different types of pre-trial motions and what to expect when moving or opposing them.
