Motions in Limine
• What evidence will come in will define your story
• Avoid surprises: better to know your story than have it told to you at trial!
• The more important and complex the issue, the earlier you should present it to the trial judge
• Judge’s comfort level and preferences vary
• Know your Judge’s preferences
1/13/2017 9
Developing a Trial Theme
• Jurors think like people, lawyers don’t always!
• So, how do people think?

Everything Important I Learned in Kindergarten…
• It’s mine
• He’s not sharing
• She started it
• He didn’t clean up his mess
• Say you are sorry

Lawyers’ adoption of these themes…
• There is power in the one-line case summary – like the one-line movie theme:
“In space, no one can hear you scream.” Aliens
“We are not alone.” Close Encounters
“Long ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far away”
“His whole life was a million-to-one shot”, Rocky
“Make America Great Again”
Can you make a tag-line that works for your case?
