A motion in limine is a motion done before trial, or before evidence. It literally means "at the threshold." For example: Say I have a case where I know the other side is going to try and introduce evidence that my client was, say, drunk, when the accident happened. However, the accident happened because the tire blew, not because my client was drunk. I will file a motion in limine (before the other side attempts to put into evidence that fact that my client was drunk) and ask the judge to determine ahead of time whether or not that testimony can be heard by the jury.
