Q. How long can a judge keep a case pending with a motion to dismiss?
A: Usually a court will give both sides an opportunity to fully brief the issues regarding facts and law and then render a decision. The time it takes will vary from case to case. Termination in a summary procedure is a drastic remedy not favored by the courts without full briefing.

Truly, the only class left untouched would be the non-disabled part of the white male group, if there is one, which would mean free services to everyone. Lawyers have challenges also and many cannot make a living if there are entire classes of people they provide free services to. As unfortunate as it is, there are many worthy people who need things and many who would like to give, but cannot afford to. So, my office doesn't. ... Read More
