This is the eighth in a series of videos recorded July 2015 as part of a review of Civil Procedure topics in preparation for the July 2015 MBE (Multistate Bar Examination).
This eighth video (it's incomplete as noted below) covers selected issues regarding dispositive and other motions. Topics covered include:
* Rule 12 defenses
* Pre-answer motions under Rule 12 (including consolidation & waiver)
* Summary judgment (Rule 56)
NOTE: My time was limited to four hours, and at this point time ran out AND I pooped out. The video contains annotations to online study guides AND other videos that cover these and other topics in more detail.
Perhaps the most important thing you might want to review (in addition to this video) is the JD video on Rules 56, the right to jury trial, Rule 50, and Rule 59 in May 2015: [ Ссылка ].
Other helpful materials include:
* Trial and post trial motions resources: [ Ссылка ]
* Differences between motions under FRCP 12(b)(6), 12(c), 56, and 50: [ Ссылка ]
* Rule 41 voluntary dismissal study questions: [ Ссылка ]
* Rule 41 voluntary dismissal analogized to Rule 15 amendments: [ Ссылка ]
* Types of summary judgment: [ Ссылка ]
* Problems and explanations on Rules 50 and 59: [ Ссылка ]
Caveat to those taking the bar exam: This video and the other videos in this series are directed towards preparation for the MBE multiple-choice exam. Time constraints prevent me from discussing all potential Civil Procedure MBE topics or issues listed in the MBE outline that might arise on the bar exam, and these same constraints limit the depth of information I can provide. Contrary to what the Rolling Stones claim, time is not on our side.
Caveat to JD students: These videos focus on selected basics with an eye towards the bar exam. They stick to the basics and do not cover the law with the level of depth that I would expect from a JD student taking a professor-written examination.
