This is a motion put to a trial judge after the plaintiff has completed his or her case, in which the defendant, while not objecting to the facts presented, and rather than responding by a full defence, asks the court to reject the petition right then and there because of a lack of basis in law or insufficiency of the evidence This motion has been been abolished in many states and, instead, any such arguments are to be made while presenting a regular defence to the petition

A general demurrer challenges the sufficiency of the substance of an allegation, whereas a special demurrer challenges the structure or form of an allegation
(law) any pleading that attacks the legal sufficiency of the opponent's pleadings
