- WHAT IS A MOTION TO ALTER, AMEND OR CORRECT JUDGMENT? A motion to alter, amend or correct judgment (also known as a Rule 59(e) motion) is a request made by a party to the court to reconsider or modify a judgment that has already been entered in a legal proceeding.
- WHY WOULD I NEED A MOTION TO ALTER, AMEND OR CORRECT JUDGMENT? You would need a motion to alter, amend or correct judgment if you believe that the court made an error in its judgment, or if new evidence or legal arguments have come to light that were not available at the time of the original judgment.
- WHEN WOULD I NEED A MOTION TO ALTER, AMEND OR CORRECT JUDGMENT? You would need a motion to alter, amend or correct judgment after a judgment has been entered in a legal proceeding, but before the deadline for filing an appeal has passed.
- HOW WOULD I USE A MOTION TO ALTER, AMEND OR CORRECT JUDGMENT? You would use a motion to alter, amend or correct judgment to request that the court reconsider or modify a judgment that has already been entered. The motion should include a description of the error you believe was made, any new evidence or legal arguments that have come to light, and any relevant case law.
