When you respond to a motion, be clear and direct about your legal position. Begin with an introduction that summarizes the nature of the motion and states your position. Develop key points to answer every argument your opponent made. Then, present your arguments in a logical sequence.
When drafting an answer, one must: (1) follow the local, state, and federal court rules; (2) research the legal claims in the adversarys complaint; (3) respond to the adversarys factual allegations; and (4) assert affirmative defenses, counterclaims, cross-claims, or third-party claims, if applicable.
In law, an answer refers to a defendants first formal written statement to a plaintiffs initial petition or complaint. This opening written statement will admit or deny the allegations, or demand more information about the claims of wrongdoing.
You have 30 days after you were served the Summons and Complaint to respond. This means mail the Answer and file it with the court. Mail your Answer far enough in advance to docHub the court by the deadline.
On a separate page or pages, write a short and plain statement of the answer to the allegations in the complaint. Number the paragraphs. The answer should correspond to each paragraph in the complaint, with paragraph 1 of the answer corresponding to paragraph 1 of the complaint, etc.
