JMOL
- Judgment as a matter of law: a ruling by the court that, even if all the factual disputes were resolved in favor of one party, the legal rules would not allow that party to win the lawsuit
- The defendant asked the judge for a JMOL because, even if all the facts the plaintiff presented were true, those facts still wouldn't establish a claim against the defendant.
- The judge denied the plaintiff’s request for a JMOL, holding that there were factual disputes that a jury needed to resolve.
- Before closing arguments, the defense team filed a motion for JMOL, asserting that the plaintiff's evidence was legally insufficient to support a verdict.
