A motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) is a motion asking the court to enter a judgment disregarding the verdict rendered by the jury. The motion argues that no reasonable jury could reach the verdict that the jury reached in the particular case.
For example, if a party enters no evidence on an essential element of their case but the jury, the finder of fact, still finds in their favor, the court may rule that no reasonable jury would have disregarded the lack of evidence on that key point and reform the judgment.
Once a verdict has been rendered, either guilty or not guilty, the judge cannot overrule the jury. However, under California law, a defendant can make a motion for judgment of acquittal before the evidence is submitted to the jury.
A judgment notwithstanding the verdict is a judgment that can be rendered at the conclusion of a jury trial, after a jury has returned a verdict. Judgement notwithstanding the verdict is sometimes referred to as a JNOV or a judgment non obstante veredicto.
A judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) is a judgment by the trial judge after a jury has issued a verdict, setting aside the jury's verdict and entering a judgment in favor of the losing party without a new trial. A JNOV is very similar to a directed verdict except for the timing within a trial.
