Trial Advocacy

Pre-Trial

A pre-trial hearing will take place immediately before the final trial starts.

Rost does not want written motions, but he will entertain two oral motions from each side.

You can move to admit things as admissible or inadmissible.

You can also ask about procedure like if you can move freely about the courtroom, if you should ask to approach the witness every time or just the first, if you need to ask to approach the clerk, etc.
