Introducing New Evidence In Lawsuit

Summary

To introduce new evidence in a lawsuit, file a motion to amend your complaint. If you believe the judge is biased, file a motion to replace the judge first, as this can impact the handling of subsequent motions, such as vacating a summary judgment. When drafting these motions, clearly state the reasons, such as failure to enforce discovery rules or new evidence discovery. The $85,000 embezzlement evidence is crucial for vacating the summary judgment but not directly for replacing the judge. Consider consulting with a legal professional for personalized guidance.

The reason I would like to have the judge replace is because he didn't enforced the rules of discovery, and granted a summary judgement to defendant, it looks like bias to me, P[resently I'm waiting for the court of appeals to bring the case back to the lower court so I can introduce my interrogatories
