Westlaw Litigator
State Trial Court Orders
Online access to the full text of a judge's orders in state courts
Save untold hours when you need it most, at the document drafting stage
Motion practice can be the most time-intensive aspect of a litigation practice. The State Trial Court Orders database saves you hours of time, travel, and trouble at the very point you need it most — in preparing and drafting those key documents.
Five ways to use State Trial Court Orders to strengthen your case:
- Uncover judicial propensities, trends, and experiences in similar cases. View orders by judge and link to a full profile.
- Develop winning strategies more efficiently. By viewing both the motions and the final decision, you gain an almost forensic insight into what will work or fail in your type of case. Which motions prevailed, and why? Which motions and strategies failed to persuade the same judge you are about to face?
- Manage your client's expectations by providing a realistic evaluation of a case's merits.
- Make better-informed evaluations about accepting a case, how to handle it, and what to tell the client to expect if litigation does proceed.
- Develop a motion practice and negotiation strategy for your own case by seeing how motions were resolved in other similar cases.
