Advise on a motion for summary judgment
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- From the pleadings and the record the lawyer selects, list each claim or defense, or part of a claim or defense, on which summary judgment is proposed, and the record materials already identified for each. Record the close of discovery and any different time set by local rule or order. Do not draft the motion and do not say that there is no genuine dispute.
- What the lawyer must review
- You decide whether Rule 56 is met and you write the motion. The court shall grant summary judgment if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Unless a local rule or order sets a different time, a party may file the motion at any time until 30 days after the close of all discovery. A factual assertion is supported by citing particular parts of the record. By presenting the motion you certify it under Rule 11, including that the legal contentions are warranted and the factual contentions have evidentiary support. Formal Opinion 512: before submission, review generated analysis and citations and correct a false statement of law or fact.
