- Find out how a Motion in Limine can protect your client and your case! This can be your secret to success!
Technically, the purpose of the Motion in Limine is typically NOT to keep evidence out. Instead, the purpose of the Motion in Limine is to prevent the other side from talking about a potentially inadmissible fact or piece of evidence in front of the jury -- without first getting a ruling on the admissibility from the Court.

I was worried the phrase "unring the bell" wasn't going to be in here, but it made it in.
Thanks for the information! I’m doing 5 motions in limine for a project this semester. This helps me understand a little bit better.
I’m glad to hear it! Good luck!
Recently I filed a motion to supress , arguing that evidence was imaterial and prejudicial ......... is that similar to a motion in limine
Doing a great job
can this motion in limine be used in family court e.g. custody et al..?
did you ever post that boiler plate Motion In Lemine? I'm currently writing one and didn't site my state's statute and was hoping that is fine. All my bullet points were cogent and accurate. Thanks
Very well done sir. . . .
Thank you kindly!
Can this be used to stop a “witness” or other party from being apart of a civil discourse?
What about a Motion in Limine before a judge trial and a jury trial?
Meant to ask: How would you handle a motion in Limine before a Judge Trial as opposed to a Jury Trial?
How do we access the boiler plate MIL?

All of these videos presume jury trials. What about bench trial? When do I make my lemony motion then?
Would one ever file a motion in limine in a judge trial?
I don't know of a scenario where you would need a motion in limine for a bench trial.
@@LawVenture what about in tax court?
@@LawVenture I had this very scenario today. Our lawyer has been in an "in limine" to disqualify the corporate lawyer from representing the corporation and opposing shareholder. Kinda kills the whole idea of "unringing the bell" since the judge is also the jury in a derivative lawsuit. I will keep you informed on how this goes. I have googled and even used Google scholar and can't find any case of an "In Limine" in a bench trial. Maybe there are different rules in C Corp about this very dilemma where the judge is also the jury.
@@LawVenture Here's the real life Motion in limine. This is a lawsuit for a
#1Family farm C Corp 1976 started.
#2 Parents started gifting in 2011
#3 2012 2 Daughters receive Equal shares and are now majority shareholders. Gifting completed.
#4 April 2013 On-farm daughter has corporate lawyer draw up leases for all equipment with the option to buy and at the same time leased all the corporate ground to herself. But did not tell her sister till 1 yr later that she did this.
#5 The same Law Firm has represented the C Corp since its inception.
#6 It has been 11 yrs and yesterday we had an "in limine" hearing to disqualify the corporate lawyer from defending the on-farm shareholders. The Judge already made the C Corp get an Attorney but this corp atty is arguing that he remains the Atty for the individual shareholders. That's how you end up in a bench trial and a in limine hearing. I'm just trying to absorb the Idea that an In Limine motion is so the Jury doesn't hear certain testimony, But in the case of a bench trial the judge is also the jury.
@@LawVenture
That's easy.
Family Court!!
Why don't we Americans just get rid of all these ridiculous rules, regulations, and atty's. and just require each side to take a lie detector test and be done with it? Lot of time, money, and b.s. could be saved if we did not have all these games and hoops to deal with for justice!
lie detector tests aren't foolproof. also invasion of privacy
@@mahatmagandhi8017 And, I guess you think it's full proof the way it is now? Lie detector's would make people tell the truth. And, we can't have that!
Bc lie detectors are notoriously unreliable?
