I need a civil attorney to answer my Q's.What is a Motion In Limine? Can you give me an example of a Motion in Limine or a draft of this type of Motion re a civil matter in preparation for trial.
A "motion in limine" is a motion used in civil or criminal lawsuit to preclude prejudicial or objectionable evidence before it is seen or heard by a jury. The primary advantage of the "in limine" motion is to avoid the futile attempt of trying to undo harm done where jurors have been exposed to damaging evidence, even where later stricken by the court.
See: http://www.palegalpubs.com/tli/pdfs/0302_1.pdf for a sample motion in limine, which although from a Pennsylvania case would follow the same format in the NJ courts and you would need to insert your legal grounds for seeking to bar the evidence and the case citations and laws. The terms of this service prevent us from drafting such motions for you.
