The document provides tips for writing summary judgment motions, including: - Structure the motion with an introduction stating the conclusion, facts, and legal standard sections. - Organize the argument section around the elements of the cause of action and use IRAC (Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion) structure. - Thoroughly analyze the facts in light most favorable to the client and cite to key cases and rules. - Conclude by restating why relief should be granted and what relief is requested.
