Motions in Limine: Opening Moves That Save the Trial
Focus Column - By Michael Paul Thomas - Motions in limine are commonly used tools of trial advocacy. Indeed, such motions are an integral part of trial and are commonly viewed as the first step in the trial process. Eckert v. Superior Court , 69 Cal.App.4th 262 (1999). Although there is no specific statutory authority for a motion in limine, its use in California has been approved and even encouraged by the appellate courts. See Hyatt v. Sierra Boat Co. , 79 Cal.App.3d 325 (1978).
