Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's Summary Judgment Motion skill drafts a complete MSJ filing package for personal injury litigation, including the memorandum of points and authorities, statement of undisputed material facts, supporting declarations, and proposed order. Powered by AI that understands FRCP 56 and state equivalents, it maps your discovery record to the elements of each claim to build a compelling dispositive motion.

Drafting a Motion for Summary Judgment is one of the most time-intensive tasks in litigation. Attorneys must meticulously review voluminous discovery records, map evidence to each element of every claim, draft a persuasive brief with proper legal standards, and prepare a compliant statement of undisputed facts—often spending 20 to 40+ hours on a single motion.

CaseMark automates the heavy lifting of MSJ preparation by analyzing your uploaded discovery record, complaint, and answer to produce a complete filing package. The AI identifies undisputed material facts, maps them to claim elements with pinpoint citations, and drafts a persuasive memorandum grounded in the Celotex trilogy and controlling authority—giving attorneys a comprehensive first draft in minutes.

  4. 4. Export the filing-ready documents in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

What documents do I need to upload to generate a summary judgment motion?

At minimum, you should upload the complaint and answer, your discovery record (depositions, interrogatory responses, RFAs, and document productions), and any applicable local rules. CaseMark can also incorporate expert reports and contracts if relevant to your claims.

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

Yes. CaseMark adapts the motion to FRCP 56 or the applicable state-equivalent rule based on the jurisdiction information you provide. The legal standard section and procedural requirements are tailored accordingly.

Will the motion include proper case citations and the Celotex trilogy?

Absolutely. CaseMark automatically incorporates the foundational summary judgment trilogy—Celotex, Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, and Matsushita—along with relevant circuit or state authority. You should always verify citations before filing.

Can I generate a partial summary judgment motion for specific claims?

Yes. You can specify which claims or defenses you want to target, and CaseMark will draft a partial MSJ focused on those specific counts while properly scoping the relief requested.

How does CaseMark handle the Statement of Undisputed Material Facts?

CaseMark generates numbered, discrete factual assertions, each tied to a specific element of your claims or defenses, with pinpoint citations to admissible evidence from your discovery record. Each fact is structured to meet separate-statement requirements.

Should I review the AI-generated motion before filing?

Yes. CaseMark produces a comprehensive first draft that dramatically reduces drafting time, but attorney review is essential. You should verify all citations, confirm factual accuracy against the record, and tailor arguments to your specific case strategy before filing.
