Pre-Trial Motion

A Pre-Trial Motion is a formal request made to the court before a trial begins. Key features include:

1. Identification of the moving party

2. Specific relief or action requested

3. Legal basis for the motion

4. Supporting facts and evidence

5. Proposed order for the court

Pre-Trial Motions are used to resolve procedural or evidentiary issues before trial, potentially shaping the course of the proceedings or even disposing of the case entirely.
