in limine - the threshold in Latin.
Motion to exclude - usually filed to throw out confessions, evidence, statements, etc.
If the defense wins the motion in limine, the next course of action is a motion for dismissal because the prosecution has no other evidence than what was just thrown out. This forces prosecutors to drop charges and places pressure on police to rearrest the person on airtight evidence.

It is a motion, filed before a trial, to exclude certain evidence or to require certain protections to be placed on discovery.
The purpose is to resolve evidentiary disputes before the trial, rather than at the trial. Generally, if granted, the order will prohibit all references to a particular topic, however they might be brought up, or exclude all evidence from a particular source.
