The Law School Toolbox Podcast: Tools for Law Students from 1L to the Bar Exam, and Beyond

Welcome back to the Law School 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
