What is a motion for a directed verdict?

A motion for a directed verdict is a motion that can be used in Arizona court proceedings to request a verdict from the court in favor of the movant (the person making the motion). This motion can be made when the court has heard all the evidence presented and the movant believes that the other side has presented no valid legal argument or facts. The court will then make a decision on the motion based on the evidence and arguments presented. If the motion is granted, the court will render a verdict in favor of the movant without considering any additional evidence or arguments. This is a useful motion in Arizona court proceedings as it avoids the need for a trial or further hearings, saving both time and money.
