what does motion limity mean?

Answer 1

Motion in Limine is a motion, made before the start of a trial requesting that the judge rule that certain evidence may, or may not, be introduced to the jury in a trial.

This is done in judge's chambers, out of hearing of the jury. If a question is to be decided in limine, it will be for the judge to decide. Usually it is used to shield the jury from possibly inadmissible and harmful evidence.

Answer 2

I think you do mean motion in limine.

Basically, a motion in limine is a run of the mill motion that lawyers make at the beginning of trials on any issue that they want to clarify or any evidence that they want to admit/suppress. It's basically an all-encompassing motion for lawyers.

Here is a more "correct" that I found online:

motion in limine

A request submitted to the court before trial in an attempt to exclude evidence from the proceedings. A motion in limine is usually made by a party when simply the mention of the evidence would prejudice the jury against that party, even if the judge later instructed the jury to disregard the evidence. For example, if a defendant in a criminal trial were questioned and confessed to the crime without having been read his Miranda rights, his lawyer would file a motion in limine to keep evidence of the confession out of the trial.

Answer 3

I suspect you mean Motion In Limine.

It means that someone wants the judge to rule on admissibility of specific evidence prior to the start of trial.

They don't want the jury tainted by matters they aren't supposed to know about, and waiting until the other side tries to enter it before objecting means the jury does hear that "something" is there that they aren't being told, so the damage is irreversible then.
