Top litigators know—motions can make or break a case!
A motion—making a compelling request of the court for a particular ruling in your favor—can be as important to winning a case as a brilliant cross-examination or a compelling closing argument. Every successful litigator must know and understand the vast array of types of motions available at any given time during the course of a case and be ready to utilize them at the correct time before, during, and after trial.
Motions to dismiss. Motions to strike evidence. And what the heck is a Motion in Limine?
This seminar shines a welcome light on most of the motions that typically arise in a civil case in Virginia. Leading litigator Nathan Schnetzler provides countless tips regarding the purpose, prerequisites, content, and timing of motions; and counsel you as to how and when each is used. He also discusses how to counter motions made by your opponent. Among the motions discussed:
Nate Schnetzler focuses his practice in civil litigation, particularly in the areas of insurance defense, insurance coverage, local government and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 litigation, Title IX, and labor and employment matters in federal and state court.

He received his Juris Doctor degree from the Washington and Lee University School of Law. After graduating from Washington and Lee, Mr. Schnetzler clerked for the judges of the Twenty-Third Judicial Circuit of Virginia in Roanoke, Virginia, and then served as a law clerk to the Honorable Michael F.
