After a trial, there are several types of motions that can be filed to address possible trial errors. The most common type of post-trial motion is a Motion for Reconsideration in which you are asking the judge to reconsider his/her ruling and change one specific part of the court order or the court's overall ruling.
This is roughly a 5 percent success rate for all motions.
A motion for reconsideration is governed by MCR 2.119(F). Rule 7.115 Taxation of Costs, Fees. (A) Right to Costs. Except as the circuit court otherwise directs, the prevailing party in a civil case is entitled to costs.
MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION The moving party must demonstrate a palpable error by which the Court and the parties have been misled and show that a different disposition will result by correcting the error. MCR 7.311(G), referencing MCR 2.119(F)(3).
