Description

A motion is an application to a judge or court requesting a specific order directing performance of an act for the benefit of the applicant. A motion may be directed strictly to a procedural defect or matter. However, it is usually used to obtain relief not available through other pleadings. An order is a direction by a judge or court that certain actions should or should not be performed, and is usually, although not always, made in response to a party's motion.
