Anyone in the know, please chime in on this: It seems to me that Judges have already made their decisions on motions before they hear arguments, because they already have case law at hand to support their decision. So, what do they do? Have case law ready to go either way? How does that work? TIA

This would be a really good question to include in the lawyers' thread! I look forward to the answer.
