Pre-trial written motions to avoid trial.

Three pre-trial motions to avoid trial are motion to dismiss-may be made by either party to request the judge dismiss the case for reasons stated in the motion (such as failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted), motion for judgment on the pleadings-may be made by either party and will be granted only if no facts are in dispute and only questions of law are issue at), and motion for summary judgment-made be made by either party and will be granted only if no facts are in dispute and only questions of law are at issue. Unlike the motion for judgment on the pleadings, the motion for summary judgment may be supported by evidence outside the pleadings, such as testimony and other evidence obtained during discovery.
