If you’ve been sued and believe the case has no legal basis, a Motion to Dismiss may allow you to stop the lawsuit early. This motion asks the judge to end the case because the court lacks jurisdiction, the complaint is legally insufficient, or other serious problems exist.
At Courtroom5, we offer an AI-powered Motion to Dismiss drafting tool to help self-represented litigants prepare persuasive, properly formatted motions. This tool is available exclusively with a Courtroom5 membership.

What Is a Motion to Dismiss?
A Motion to Dismiss is a formal request for the court to close a case before a full trial. You can file it in response to a complaint that:
- Fails to state a legal claim
- Was filed in the wrong court
- Includes parties the court doesn’t have power over
- Was improperly served
If the court agrees, the case is dismissed and you don’t have to defend it further.
Challenges in Filing a Motion to Dismiss
Self-represented litigants may struggle with:
- Identifying the Right Grounds for Dismissal – You must match the issue with a recognized legal reason.
- Using Legal Language Clearly – You must explain why the complaint fails under the law.
- Following the Court’s Rules – Courts have strict requirements for timing and formatting.
A well-argued motion can save you months of stress and expense by ending the case early.
