Motion in Limine -- it's a motion asking the court to rule on certain matters of evidence -- what evidence can be admitted, and what evidence cannot be admitted.
It's common pre-trial tactics to try and set the stage so that the best evidence for you comes in, but the evidence that would be harmful to your side gets excluded.

A motion in limine is a request made before trial to have certain evidence excluded. It is usually used when even knowing there might be evidence would predjudice the jury against the party.
If someone confesses but was never read Miranda, the attorney normally makes a motion in limine to have the confession surpressed, or never heard or mentioned in in trial.
