What does it mean when a judge rules against you on summary judgment?
When a judge rules against you on summary judgment, it means that the judge has determined there are no genuine disputes of material fact in the case and that the opposing party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. This ruling effectively resolves the case or a significant part of it without proceeding to a full trial. It indicates that the evidence presented by the opposing party is sufficient to win the case, leaving you with limited options for appeal or further legal action.

Why do the participants have to leave their documents on the table after Judge Judy rules on the case?

Who is the judge if another judge is tried?
Usually, the case will be sent to another venue so that the judge charged is not tried by another judge he/she has worked closely with. In the other venue, no judge having any connection to the judge charged will be eligible to hear the case. Changes in venue are governed by the rules of the courts of the state where the charges are brought.

What is the importance of case citing?
if your case is directly related to another case then a "case citing" is extremely important, especially if it was the same judge, a judge will not rule against himself so if he has ruled one way before he'll rule the same this time.
What are the defendant's two options in a civil case?
The judge would either rule in the plaintiffs favor or not. If the judge rules against your case you can file an appeal. If the judge rules in your favor you won and can take the next steps in collecting your judgment. Once a decision is made its final. I don't see much luck with appeals, unless you have favoring evidence that the ruling was, for lack of better word, unfair.
What happens when a judge dies before ruling on the case?
When a judge dies before ruling on a case, the proceedings typically pause, and the case may be reassigned to another judge. The new judge may review the case record to understand the arguments and evidence presented before making a ruling. If necessary, parties may be allowed to present additional arguments or evidence. The specific procedures can vary based on jurisdiction and court rules.
