What does it mean "motion for summary judgment"?

im taking a class and we have to read a case where this phrase appears what does it mean.
Answers:
Summary judgment is available in civil cases (actions for breach of contract, torts, and the like). Not allowed in criminal cases.

Both parties (plaintiff or defendant) may apply for summary judgment.

Summary judgment is only available when there are no genuine issues of material fact, and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Then the Court can grant judgment without submitting the case to a jury for trial.

If there are fact issues in doubt, then summary judgment cannot be granted.
Means you should go to findlaw.com and look it up!
summary judgement is when a defendant in a case has defended an action but does not show that they have a viable defence. the court then can grant summary judgement in favour of the plaintiff without the matter going to trial. hope that makes sense...

What does immigration hold mean??

all answers accepted even iof it's bad news
Answers:
It means that he's facing deportation as a result of his charges.
I think it means that he will not be able to become a citizen, pending investigation. Or maybe that he'll get sent back...
your uncle is not welcome!
When an alien is in jail, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will put an Immigration Hold on the alien so whenever he/she is released from jail (even on bond) he/she will not be set free, but held upto 3 days for ICE to come get them.

Sounds like Uncle is "toast!"

If he was not your Uncle, but was a criminal that lived next door, wouldn't you want him deported?
It means he needs to go HOME

What does FREEDOM mean to you?

"My country, 鈥檛is of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims鈥?pride,
From every mountainside,
Let freedom ring!

My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees,
Sweet freedom鈥檚 song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.

Our fathers鈥?God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom鈥檚 holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King."

What does freedom mean to you?
Answers:
Freedom to me means using my property for my benefit, the right to do things I want to do if they don't hurt anyone else, the absence of government regulations that are unnecessary, maybe even some regulations that others feel are necessary.
Avoidance of excessive tax burdens and freedom from reporting the details of my business to the government on a 1040, or a schedule C, or a 1065, or an 1140, etc. The right to raise kids without government interferance. Freedom from stupid people like the Federal Reserve Board lying to me about controlling inflation by raising interest rates. I could go on and on but I think freedom generally means the absence of government, not the expansion of government.
Freedom is not having a gun in your face or a tank on your street.
Being able to say to your leaders "You suck" and not being beheaded.
Being able to smile at a boy and not being stoned to death by your own family.
Freedom is also getting a speeding ticket, paying taxes, losing a family member in a war.
Nothing in life is free
freedom is a trip %26 travel

sun %26 sea

what else...
Responsibility. Freedom cannot be understood apart from its #1 attribute, which is that when one is free to act, one is responsible for the consequences of that action. If one is not free (because under compulsion, insane lack of understanding, or similar cause) then one is not responsible.
No taxes.
No insurance. (what happened to the old days when doctors made house calls, and they'd trade a penicillin shot for a pot of spaghetti? or a couple of chickens? I'll answer that myself - malpractice suits.)
Freedom from frivolous liability suits.
Freedom of speech.
Freedom of religion ( and that includes the right to say a prayer in a public school)
Freedom to express my own opinion.
The right to bear arms.

What does disposition of the offense mean?

its for a job applicationh.
Answers:
How was the offense resolved? Finding of guilt, case dismissed, prosecution deferred, et al.

Good luck!
Disposition of the offense means "What was the final outcome?"

For example, maybe you went to court and the judge dismissed it.
Simply put, it means how the case was handled. Did you go to court or was the case settled out of court? Were you fined? Did you get jail time or probation or community service or anything like that? That's what they're looking for.
