Overview

Practical Tools, Real-World Examples, and Up-to-Date Case Law

In criminal litigation, well-crafted motions can mean the difference between suppression and admission, trial and dismissal, freedom and incarceration. From early procedural challenges to post-trial, every motion offers an opportunity to shape the facts, narrow the issues, control the courtroom, and advocate for justice. This comprehensive program is designed to give you a deep understanding of the strategic dimensions of motion practice - with real-world examples and case law you can use right away. Wield motions with precision and purpose - register today!

  • Explore how timely, targeted motions can shift leverage, limit evidence, or even dispose of charges entirely.
  • Learn how and when to challenge the prosecution's case before it gains traction.
  • Compel disclosure of exculpatory evidence, deal with confidential informants, and safeguard key testimony.
  • Cut to the core of constitutional protections and leverage motions to suppress with finesse.
  • Time your motions in limine strategically for the best results.
