Plaintiff Summary Judgment

Somehow in the legal world, attorneys got the idea that summary judgment was only for defense attorneys.  In recent years, I have been using it as a plaintiff tool on a regular basis.  This is based on experience that the more issues are narrowed down, the less likely it is that a fact-finder can create some rationale denying liability that is not based on the law.  I have used this on to establish liability in a number of cases.  This makes the trial a damages only issue and makes defendant's wanting to offer sympathy testimony largely irrelevant.
