Jane files a lawsuit against her former employer for wrongful termination. Her employer does not respond to the complaint within the 21-day period required by federal rules. Jane decides to request a judgment without a trial. What type of adjudication is Jane seeking?
Jane is seeking a default judgment, which is appropriate when the defendant fails to respond to a lawsuit within the specified time, allowing the plaintiff to obtain a judgment without proceeding to trial. Summary judgment involves both parties presenting evidence to show there are no material facts in dispute. A preliminary injunction is a temporary order to maintain the status quo, and a directed verdict is a decision made by the judge during or after a trial, not before it.
