EXTREME HOSTILITY AND AGGRESSION (ALL-LEGAL)

There is a scene in the movie "Alien" (1979), starring Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, Yaphet Kotto and John Hurt (who steals the show in the scene with the Alien bursting through his abdomen), where the Alien has ripped the Robot, named Ash, into pieces, and so Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) has to wire his head up in order to be able to speak with him.

When Ripley asks Ash's disembodied-head about the Alien, the head responds that the Alien is "Extremely Hostile and Aggressive."

Well, that is the description that applies to our Litigation Style.

We won't ever break any Rule or Law, but within the scope of the Law and the Rules, we are very happy to promise you the maximum Hostility and Aggression permitted.

We are also happy to tell you that we sometimes have had a Customer ask us to dial-back the aggression, but we have never been asked to increase it. Not once. Not ever.

At the close of the scene with Ash's speaking head, Ripley incinerates the head with a flame-thrower.

We love that scene.

Pre-Litigation Planning

If you are worried about evidence disappearing unless you collect it before it gets a chance to, then you certainly should collect that evidence.

There are other benefits from creating a full Litigation Plan, but this step is not required, only advisable.

Pleadings Commence Litigation: -- The Summons and Complaint, Answers and even Replies

Pleadings are the means by which Litigation is Commenced. Usually this is by way of Summons and Complaint, but it can also be by Notice of Petition and Petition.

Answers are required in all matters, or else you Default in your own Defense, and can expect to have a Default Judgment entered against you.

Replies are essentially Answers Served and Filed by the Plaintiff in Reply Counterclaims or Cross-Claims stated in the Defendant's Answer.

Motions

Motions are requests for an Order.

One of the most important types of Motions is the Motion for Summary Judgment. Motions for Summary Judgment are the primary means of ending Litigation without Trial, and sometimes even without Discovery.

Some other types of Motions are for:

--------------------------- Vacating of Default Judgments;

--------------------------- Changes of Venue;

--------------------------- in Limine (to limit evidence admissible at Trial);

--------------------------- Recusal or Disqualification of Counsel or Judge;

--------------------------- To Strike Defenses or Answers;

--------------------------- To Overturn Verdicts Rendered by Juries (for a Directed Verdict);

--------------------------- For Reconsideration of a Prior Judicial Decision;

--------------------------- For Designation as a Poor Person for Purpose of Judicial Fees and Costs;

--------------------------- For Summary Judgment (Yes, I'm Being Redundant Here, but this one is that important);

--------------------------- This List is Just off the Top of my Head, There are More!

Discovery

Discovery is the process whereby all of the evidence is produced and examined in order to measure it against the various standards for, first, a Motion for Summary Judgment, and then to win at Trial.

There are basically three (3) types of Discovery:

------------------------------------------------------- Demands for Documents, Records and other things;

------------------------------------------------------- Written Questions

-------------------------------------------------------- (formally-known-as "Interrogatories"); and

------------------------------------------------------- Verbal Questioning In Person

-------------------------------------------------------- (f-k-a "Deposition under Oral Examination").

Trial Preparation: the Trial Memorandum

The most essential document of Trial Preparation is the Trial Memorandum. The Trial Memorandum follows a prescribed format and describes all of the legal points that the Plaintiff must prove, the evidence to be offered to attempt to prove each factual allegation and the legal arguments supporting its admissibility and probity.

Post-Trial

Before Appealing, you may well wish to ask the Trial Court for Orders granting Reconsideration of a previous Judicial Decision, or to overturn a Jury Verdict.

Appeals

Every Litigant is entitled to one Appeal under the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, and under similar clauses of the several state constitutions.

In the State of New Jersey, this Court is known as the Appellate Division. All Litigants have a right to their initial Appeal, as of right, to the Appellate Division.

Appeals to the Supreme Court of New Jersey are not guaranteed to be accepted by the Court.
