In the United States courts,renewed judgment as a matter of law is a party's second chance at ajudgment as a matter of law (JMOL) motion. Renewed JMOL is decided after a jury has returned its verdict, and is a motion to have that verdict altered. In US federal courts this procedure has replacedjudgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) through Rule 50 of theFederal Rules of Civil Procedure.[1]
Renewed JMOL can only be raised before a jury begins deliberations.Seventh Amendment due process concerns demand this formality, as decided by theUnited States Supreme Court inBaltimore & Carolina Line, Inc. v. Redman, 295 U.S. 654 (1935).
