Post-Trial Motion

A Post-Trial Motion is a formal request made to the court after a trial has concluded. Key features include:

1. Identification of the moving party

2. Specific relief sought (e.g., new trial, judgment notwithstanding the verdict)

3. Legal grounds for the motion

4. Citation of errors or issues during the trial

5. Deadline for filing (typically within a specific timeframe after the verdict)

Post-Trial Motions allow parties to address perceived errors or injustices in the trial process before appealing to a higher court.
