Q1) Compare and contrast a summary judgment and a directed verdict.

Answer: Both a summary judgment and a directed verdict are final, binding judicial determinations on the merits of a case.However, a summary judgment is made by the judge before a trial and a directed verdict is made by the judge after a trial has begun but before the jury renders a verdict.A summary judgment is granted if the evidence disclosed by discovery is so clear that a trial to determine facts is unnecessary.A summary judgment is a determination that the moving party should prevail as a matter of law because there are no issues of fact to be determined by trial.With a directed verdict, if the judge concludes that the evidence, which is assumed for the purposes of the motion to be True, would not be sufficient for the jury to find in favor of the plaintiff, then the judge will grant a directed verdict in favor of the defendent.

Q2) Which of the following is NOT a way in which a case can reach the United States Supreme Court?

A)Appeal by right.

B)Stare decisis.

C)Writ of certiorari.
