Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242 (1986), is a United States Supreme Court case articulating the standard for a trial court to grant summary judgment. Summary judgment will lie when, taking all factual inferences in the non-movant's favor, there exists no genuine issue as to a material fact such that the movant deserves judgment as a matter of law. Because appellate courts always recite Liberty Lobby when reviewing a trial court's grant of summary judgment, Liberty Lobby is the most quoted Supreme Court case.
