Overview

CaseMark's Summary Judgment Motion skill produces a complete MSJ filing package—from caption and notice through memorandum of points and authorities, statement of undisputed material facts, and supporting declarations. Powered by AI trained on dispositive motion standards under FRCP 56 and state equivalents, it maps your case evidence to each legal element and builds persuasive arguments showing no genuine dispute of material fact.

Drafting a Motion for Summary Judgment is one of the most labor-intensive tasks in litigation. Attorneys must meticulously review voluminous discovery records, map evidence to each legal element, draft numbered undisputed facts with pinpoint citations, and construct persuasive legal arguments—all while complying with strict local rules and page limits. This process routinely consumes days of attorney time and carries significant risk of overlooked evidence or citation errors.

CaseMark automates the heavy lifting of MSJ preparation by analyzing your uploaded complaint, answer, and discovery record to identify undisputed material facts and map them to the elements of each claim or defense. The AI generates a complete, court-ready filing package with proper legal standards, record citations, and structured arguments—allowing attorneys to shift from drafting to strategic review and refinement.

Questions

Does CaseMark support both federal FRCP 56 and state summary judgment standards?

Yes. CaseMark drafts motions under FRCP 56 and adapts to state equivalents. You can specify your jurisdiction and local rules so the output conforms to page limits, separate-statement requirements, and formatting standards.

How does the AI handle record citations and Bates numbers?

CaseMark extracts Bates numbers, deposition page-and-line references, and exhibit identifiers from your uploaded discovery record. Each fact in the Statement of Undisputed Material Facts includes pinpoint citations to admissible evidence from your case file.

Can I use this for a partial summary judgment motion?

Absolutely. CaseMark allows you to specify which claims or counts you're targeting, and the AI will draft a partial MSJ focused only on those issues while preserving the correct procedural framing.

Does the motion include the standard summary judgment case law?

Yes. CaseMark automatically incorporates the Celotex trilogy—Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, and Matsushita—along with controlling circuit or state authority relevant to your jurisdiction.

How long does it take to generate a complete MSJ package?

CaseMark typically generates a full filing package in approximately 15 minutes, depending on the complexity and volume of your uploaded documents. What traditionally takes days of drafting is reduced to a review-and-refine workflow.

Can I edit the output before filing?

Of course. CaseMark produces a fully editable draft in DOCX or PDF format. You retain complete control to refine arguments, adjust citations, and tailor the motion to your litigation strategy before filing.
