Generic Motion
A template isn’t enough to win in court.
Filing the right document matters — but so does the research behind it, the facts that support it, and your ability to argue it in front of a judge. The LAW Accelerator™ helps you build legal documents backed by real case law, grounded in your specific facts, and formatted for your court.
- WHAT IS A MOTION? A motion is a formal request made to the court for a specific action to be taken, such as a request for a ruling on a legal issue, a request for a continuance, or a request for a judgment. Only use the Generic Motion when no other Journey meets your needs.
- WHY WOULD I NEED A MOTION? You would need a motion when you want to make a specific request of the court, such as asking for a ruling on a legal issue, requesting additional time to prepare your case, or asking for a judgment in your favor.
- WHEN WOULD I NEED A MOTION? You would need a motion at various stages of a legal proceeding, such as before trial, during trial, or after trial.
- HOW WOULD I USE A MOTION? You would use a motion to formally request the court to take a specific action. The motion should include the reason for the request, any supporting evidence or legal arguments, and the specific relief sought.
- WHAT’S THE PROCESS? We’ll guide you through the process of completing a motion that outlines your request. In the end, you will download a properly formatted motion to file in court.
