Furthermore, I cannot imagine an order that kicks you out of the apartment without at least ensuring that you are adequately accommodated. If your husband is attempting any actions... Read more »

Can any mass of people congregate in a public park, setup some speakers and listen to an orator speak about politics, for example? Is this protected by the right to peaceful assembly? I'm talking about non-pandemic times, btw. Thanks for any help provided.

to contravene (contradict) Mr. Smith’s client.
What motion might Mr. Smith make to the judge? Explain what that motion is in detail, and explain when counsel may raise such a motion. What other motions are similar? How are they utilized? Why does the court entertain such motions?
It would be appropriate to file a motion for directed verdict on liability at the close of evidence, assuming Mr. Smith proved all the elements of his case and the defense did not attack his client’s credibility or present any evidence to counter the elements of liability. Most courts would... Read more »
