Product Description

This fast-paced program focuses on how to thoughtfully and strategically craft and draft motions in limine. The seasoned trial attorneys on our faculty share tips and strategies on how to effectively utilize motions in limine to exclude certain evidence from being presented to a jury, whether that evidence is irrelevant, unreliable, or prejudicial.

While motions in limine are typically made immediately before trial, this program addresses the importance of considering potential topics for these motions throughout the life of your case. It further explains how motions in limine can function as powerful tools to address previously missed opportunities in your case, and how to avoid overusing this tool.
