Description

INTRODUCTION In three of the most cited cases in its history, the U.S. Supreme Court strongly encouraged the use of summary judgment as an efficient way to rid the federal dockets of frivolous claims before expensive trials. (1) After this trilogy of decisions, scholars expressed concern about the heavy use of summary judgment. (2) Two decades later, most of the judicial and scholarly world seemed content again with the state of summary judgment. (3) Then came Scott v. Harris. (4) With a video link included underneath the Supreme Court's decision, it is hard to imagine a more modern test of the relationship between judges, evidence, and summary judgment.
