Prepare Documents to Exclude Evidence

Purpose of Assignment: The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate an ability to prep legal documents for use at trial.

Course Competency: Perform legal research in order to apply law to facts, analyze case outcomes by applying legal theories to a specific set of facts, and create tailored documents for legal professionals in various areas of the law.

Instructions:

Content:

• CIVIL TRACK: The judge in the Bouden case has ordered motions in limine be filed this week, so there is time to rule on them well in advance of our trial date. You will need to prep a motion asking the court to keep out any testimony related to Mr. Bouden's use of marijuana. The defense might try to argue that his use of marijuana was an intervening cause of his injury as he was not as aware of his surroundings. We believe this argument is irrelevant and should not be provided to the jury. A template the firm uses for motions in limine has been provided for you here:
