“Home Run” Motions
In Federal Court

This program focuses on "home run" motions in federal court . . . the ones aimed at winning without trial! We'll cover motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment, plus other motions that may effectively end the case - including motions to remand to state court; to enforce a forum-selection clause; to compel arbitration; for a preliminary injunction; and for terminating sanctions.

Our expert panelists will explain the rules and cases governing these motions. They will also give practical strategies to increase your chances of success. This program will highlight the very latest applicable Supreme Court and Circuit decisions.

Whether you practice in federal court regularly or only occasionally, this is information you need to know!
