A template isn’t enough to win in court.

  • WHAT IS A RESPONSE TO A MOTION? A response to a motion is a legal document filed by one party in response to a motion filed by the other party in a case. The response typically sets out your arguments against the opposing party’s motion and provides legal authority and evidence in support of your arguments. Only use the Response to Generic Motion when no other Journey meets your needs. The Journey for a Motion is often suitable for its Response.
  • WHY WOULD I NEED A RESPONSE TO A MOTION? You would need a response to a motion if the other party has filed a motion that you disagree with or would like to challenge. A response to a motion allows you to present your arguments and evidence to the court, in an attempt to persuade the court to deny the opposing party’s motion.
  • WHEN WOULD I NEED A RESPONSE TO A MOTION? You would need a response to a motion after the opposing party has filed a motion in the case. The court typically sets a deadline for the response, which is usually a specific number of days after the motion has been served.
  • HOW WOULD I USE A RESPONSE TO MOTION? You would use a response to a motion to present your arguments and evidence to the court, in an attempt to persuade the court to deny the opposing party’s motion. The response should address the issues raised in the motion and explain why the opposing party’s position is incorrect. The response should also cite relevant legal authority and present persuasive legal arguments in support of your position.
  • WHAT’S THE PROCESS? We’ll guide you through the process of completing a response to a motion that sets out your arguments and evidence against the opposing party’s motion. In the end, you will download a properly formatted response to a motion to file with the court.
