Post-Trial Motions and Oppositions in Los Angeles

Even though most lawsuits will be resolved before trial, many clients proceed to appeal the verdict of their case in a higher court or find themselves defending their judgment.

Winning a civil appeal in California can change your life in innumerable ways, but the process is complex and begins long before most trial lawyers realize.

Often this process requires professional assistance from skillful Los Angeles appellate counsel who can help craft and respond to post-trial motions and oppositions. In fact, winning an appeal may sometimes turn on what was included in — or omitted from — a post-trial motion.

What Are the Most Common Types of Post-Trial Motions?

There are different types of pretrial and post-trial motions in California. To of the most common types of post-trial motions in California include:

Motion for a New Trial

You may have had your “day in court,” but certain irregularities or legal errors in your trial may have deprived you from obtaining the justice you deserve. This motion, if successful, allows the trial judge to vacate the judgment or verdict so you can have a new, fair trial.

Motion for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict (JNOV)

Sometimes the jury’s verdict seems like it came out of left field. Maybe the jury failed to understand the significance of certain testimony, but the judge overseeing your case understands it differently.

The JNOV allows the trial judge to step into the shoes of a “13th juror,” and, under certain conditions, change the judgment.

After the jury has made a decision in a civil case, your fight for justice isn’t over. You should hire the best appellate litigation lawyer in Los Angeles to ensure your post-trial motions or oppositions set you up for success on appeal.
