Welcome to 2005
So it's about 4:45 pm. A partner walks in and says, "can I see you in the fishbowl." (Big glass conference room.) I go in, it's a pow wow with another partner and two other associates about a case that the partner want to file summary judgment on. On the 19th. A week. Hmm...that means we have until Monday or Tuesday to get a draft done. Sweet...

Bum. That usually takes up to a months worth of time right? (still trying to get the process down)

So now I'll really confuse you - I gave you the GENERAL timeline. We can deviate from it.
Here, we are filing a motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, for summary judgment BEFORE we file the answer or discovery starts. We can't win - the other side will just ask for discovery before responding - we are doing it so the court gets our version of the story in the Judge's mind from the very beginning.
