Analyzing the Impact of Evidence in a Slip and Fall Case

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today we discuss the procedure for filing a motion for summary judgment, which is how many cases are resolved in court. We illustrate this important topic with several sample questions and answers. 

In this episode we discuss:

• What is a motion for summary judgment?
• When a court may grant a motion for summary judgment
• How the non-moving party can defeat the motion
• Analyzing several hypos involving motions for summary judgment
