Judgment notwithstanding the verdict is the term used when a verdict is overturned due to jury misconduct. Remittitur refers to a judge reducing a jury's award amount. Motion for judgment on the pleadings and motion for summary judgment are pre-trial motions that ask the judge to rule in favor of the moving party based solely on the legal pleadings or evidence presented.
