    Needed to learn about summary judgment for a graduate school project. I read some definitions online and it just wasn't making sense. You made the concept of summary judgment very clear! Thank you!

    Another good video. As a viewer, I like that you segment your video to a specific subject: summary judgment vs summary motion (in your previous video I watched). Thanks again for videos.

    A plaintiff gave me a car, and offered me cash to a total of 11k, as down payment on my house. He wrote up a contract that did not mention the house sale, as I needed to restore my electricity before he would finalize. I took the car, but not the cash. A week later, after returning from my business trip, I was informed by the plaintiff that the house deal and the cash were no longer on the table. I immediately told him to take his car back. I am being sued for the overinflated cost of the car, which I claim was down payment on a house sale.
    Can I claim a Breach of Contract, if part of the contract was refused?
    Is this an issue I should focus on as a matter of Law, in defense of a summary judgement motion?
    Thank you.

    Hi I have my case pending in court and at the moment I have to object to a summary judgment, what happens if my case is issue of law and issue of facts how would the judge decide on this ? This case is in Connecticut for negligence receivership and management negligence

      If there are questions of fact that need to be decided by a jury the judge will likely not grant the motion for summary judgment. Thank you for watching the video and for your comment!

    In summary judgments court orders are written by the favoring lawyer so that judge can get rid of the case without reading a word of any filing, and this way the judgment won't reflect judge's lack of understanding of the case. Large law firms contribute to judges' re-election campaigns, and judges rule in their favor to return the favor.

      Wth are you talking about. That's not how it works. A summary judgment is a decision made by the judge based on statements and evidence without going to trial, and a party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law, not as a matter of which attorney the judge favors more. Judges need to respond to a motion for summary judgement by issuing an Opinion & Order, which includes a summary of the facts, procedural background, the standard of review, an overview of relevant laws and a conclusion, which includes their ruling. They wouldn't be able to draft this without reading the actual motion for summary judgement, or reviewing pleadings, evidence and the reply from the opposing party.

      @@nissan_skyline They get resolved by prosecutors and lawyers. Above all is the State, meaning the prosecutor. I did reword my last comment by excluding "unless a case goes to trial" because judges only sit in to rule over procedures while still not having read a word of the filings, which is jury's job.

    • @nissan_skyline

      @@obombabeenlaid5101 No they don't. Lawyers don't decide on who wins and loses. If a case doesn't go to trial, it's resolved by the judge or in mediation where the parties come to an agreement and settle outside of court, which is the goal since trial is costly and takes forever, so there are many opportunities for the parties to try and settle before going all the way to trial. Also, I'm referring more to civil lawsuits as opposed to criminal, where there is no prosecutor. In a criminal setting, the case can be resolved without trial if the defendant accepts a plea bargain, but many plea bargains are still subject to the approval of the court (a judge), but some may not be (e.g., prosecutors may be able to drop charges without court approval in exchange for a "guilty" plea to a lesser offense).To say a judge doesn't read any part of a case unless it goes to trial is stupid because they still need to make a ruling/issue an order on various motions and pleadings that are filed along the way. A motion is an oral or written request made by a party (lawyer or pro se individual) to an action before, during or after a trial upon which a court (judge) issues a ruling or order. How is a judge supposed to issue a ruling if they don't read anything. The case would be stalled and can't move forward if they don't. Have you ever seen a court docket for an actual lawsuit before. I suggest you Google one and give it a read.
