Listen Later

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! In this week's episode, we're focusing on a topic from Civil Procedure -- specifically, motions for judgment as a matter of law and motions for new trial, where the moving party is asking the court to take certain issues away from the jury.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The two types of motions for judgment as a matter of law
  • The standard for granting a motion for judgment as a matter of law
  • Filing and granting motions for new trial
  • Analyzing a hypo encompassing the above concepts
