Just "challenges", because the context is legal, you don't need to add the word "legal"

motions
A motion is an official request by one of the parties to a case submitted either orally in court, as when a lawyer says, "we move to dismiss;"
ندفع لإسقاط الدعوى
or submitted in a written form (called a "brief"), which is what happens when the motion requires a lot of explanation and justification of fact and law.
ويسمى في لغة القانون العربية الحديثة دفعاً، ويُجمع على "دُفوع"، ويسمى مقدم الطلب الدافع

The myth, found among many translators who are unfamiliar with legal language, that دفوع means "defenses" comes from their unfamilarity with the singular form (and ultimately, from their unfamiliarity with the legal language). They somehow assume that دفوع is the plural of دفاع, or that the word دفوع is somehow related to دفاع because both words ultimately derive from the root verb دَفَعَ. In fact, دفوع is the plural of دفع, which means "motion," and it has nothing to do with "defenses" whatsoever, morphological derivation notwithstanding.
