Download or read book A Conceptual Approach to California Summary Judgment written by Thomas Kallay and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary judgment is a sophisticated and important procedural device; in "A Conceptual Approach to California Summary Judgment," author Thomas Kallay provides a detailed analysis and explanation of how this procedure is used in California. Kallay identifies its fundamental components and concepts and shows how these interact with each other. This study also explores the relationship of California summary judgment to other procedural devices. It discusses: direct, circumstantial, and admissible evidence; the presentation of evidence; material and ultimate facts; the burden of the moving party and opposing party; evaluation of opponent's evidence; evenly balanced influences; summary adjudication; summary judgment, directed verdict, and the constitution; the burdens of production and persuasion; the appeal. Geared toward law students and lawyers, "A Conceptual Approach to California Summary Judgment" provides a comprehensive overview of this significant component of California law. The cornerstone of summary judgment is evidence. First, both the party moving for summary judgment and the opponent of the motion must rely on evidence. Second, the court must determine the motion based on the evidence presented. The courts have held from time to time that the parties to a motion for summary judgment must rely on "evidentiary facts." This is another way of saying that the parties and the court must rely on admissible evidence. ... With one exception, evidence for the purposes of summary judgment is no different from evidence presented at trial.

Download or read book Civil Procedure written by Stephen N. Subrin and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-01 with total page 1792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by respected scholars and experienced educators, this book showcases rules and doctrine of civil procedure at work in the practice of law. The book focuses on civil rights both to engage student’s by focusing on issues they care out and to illustrate the impact of procedure on real people’s experience with the legal system. The cases are framed in their historical and social context. Each chapter contains a well-written introduction, cases, and clear explanations of the doctrine, supported by readings highlighting the context of the case as well as review questions and comments which deepen students’ understanding and clarify key concepts, and offers more than forty well-crafted problems (both for class use and review), to help students solidify their understanding of the materials whether used in class or as out-of-class assignments. In-class exercises and simulations based on a sample case file are integrated throughout. Pleadings, memoranda, transcripts, exhibits, motions, and more – all taken from a real case – appear in the Appendix. Civil Procedure: Doctrine, Practice, and Context consistently emphasizes the skills and values of lawyering as it offers a consideration of social responsibility. New to the 7th Edition: The inclusion of more examples and problem sets to make the materials more accessible and the concepts more concrete The addition of more practice exercises, with a focus on one set of Case Files throughout the book, rather than the two that were used in prior editions With the removal of Warner v. City of New York case files (because most professors did not have time to use the Warner case files into their courses), issues that are unique to public law litigation are woven throughout the book with practice problems, examples, comments, and questions. This revision will make it easier for professors to incorporate these issues into the course. Professors and students will benefit from: Practice exercises allow students to learn by doing – integrating doctrine, practice, and context. These exercises can be covered in class or, instead, recommended as content for study groups. Topics that are especially hard to teach (like discovery) and those that require a lot of time to teach have been rewritten to respond to adopters’ requests. A case file involving a car accident that is both accessible to first year students and provides good teaching tools for procedure professors to show how a case is litigated from complaint through trial. Because the case file involves a relatively simple state court case, it provides an opportunity to compare state and federal procedural regimes. Review questions focus on student comprehension; broader critical questions are separated out in “questions to ponder” sections. Questions are answered in the teacher’s manual. Background material has been integrated to promote critical thinking and engage students with the latest debates over civil procedure. New practice problems promote engagement with cutting edge issues like Multidistrict Litigation. The authors are developing an online community for adopters – in addition to the teacher’s manual -- to help better facilitate the learning and teaching process for this book.

Download or read book Final Verdict written by Walter Schneir and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2010 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The arrest, trial and execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in 1951 mesmerised an America coming to grips with the early Cold War and the anxiety aroused by the Soviet Union's testing of the atomic bomb. However, in 1965, Walter Schneir famously presented evidence that the Rosenbergs were innocent and had been framed by the FBI - a case which was brought into question in 1995 when the FBI released 3000 Soviet intelligence documents. This prompted Schneir to continue his research, which has lead to surprising and revelatory results.

Download or read book Relief from Judgment in North Carolina Civil Cases written by Ann M. Anderson and published by Unc School of Government. This book was released on 2016 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A party to a civil action may seek relief from a final judgment or order of North Carolina's trial courts for many reasons. Litigants often take their arguments to the state's appellate division. But for many issues, the North Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure provide methods for first seeking relief directly from the trial courts themselves. These rules, presented in Chapter 1A of the North Carolina General Statutes, and North Carolina case law interpreting them, are the focus of this book. The discussion proceeds in two parts. -Part One covers motions for immediate post-trial relief. -Part Two covers motions brought under Rule 60(b), which allows relief from a "final judgment, order, or proceeding" based on any of six specific grounds that are based largely in equity, and, in general, are discretionary. The book concentrates on North Carolina case law, primarily cases that interpret the Rules of Civil Procedure governing these motions rather than cases discussing the common law upon which the rules are based or statutes that preceded them.
