Description

This book teaches new lawyers how to effectively make and oppose motions and help experienced lawyers create more original and innovative work. It teaches the basics of motion practice, with a particular focus on the written motion and provides expert advice on making motions more persuasive. It discusses the tools of persuasion and the marshaling of facts, law and form to produce a winning motion. Instead of merely laying out the rules, the book outlines the analysis that the lawyer must make in writing and presenting a motion.
