The purpose of this course is to familiarize students with the Rules of Civil Procedure, judicial directions and advocacy techniques associated with bringing motions and applications in the Superior Court of Justice. Utilizing a motion moot fact scenario, students will advance a substantive Superior Court motion that will entail drafting of a Notice of Motion pleading, drafting of a supporting Affidavit, conduct of cross-examinations on Affidavits, drafting of a Factum and, ultimately, presentation of oral arguments before a panel of guest judges. Completion of Civil Procedure is strongly recommended.
