Motions — Requesting Court Action & Drafting Effective Pleadings

Motions are how attorneys ask the court to take action—whether it's appointing a Guardian ad Litem, ordering drug testing, or awarding attorney’s fees. In this class, you’ll learn the general structure of motions, how to match the request to the correct legal basis, and how to draft the accompanying orders the court will sign.

You’ll learn how to draft:

• Standard Motion format and structure (caption, introduction, legal basis, facts, relief requested)

• Motion for Appointment of Guardian ad Litem

• Order Appointing Guardian ad Litem
