Memorandum Contra Law and Legal Definition
Memorandum contra is an opposing party's explanation to the court of why the other party's motion should be denied. The rules and time periods that apply to filing a memorandum contra vary by the court rules of the particular jurisdiction. For example, if a party files a motion for summary judgment, the opposing party may file a memorandum contra with a legal argument and attached evidence explaining why summary judgment should not be granted.
