FAQ
One of the most common grounds for filing a motion for a new trial is the presence of significant legal errors during the original trial. Legal errors can take many forms, such as the improper admission or exclusion of evidence, incorrect jury instructions, or the misapplication of legal standards.
The motion for a new trial must be filed with the trial court that issued the original verdict. The motion must be filed within 30 days of the final judgment, and it is important to ensure that the motion is filed on time.
A motion for new trial may be filed and amended within thirty days from the date the judgment is signed, is overruled by operation of law seventy-five days after the judgment is signed, and the trial court has power over its judgment for 30 more days.
A motion is how you ask the court to take action, allow, or deny something in an existing case. For example, you might file a motion to require mediation so that the court will tell other side to sit down and talk to you alongside a neutral professional.
Motion Setting (MT) The State and Defense must file all pre-trial motions within thirty days after the Announcement setting. Attorneys must request a hearing date from the Court Coordinator on any motions that the he/she wishes to have heard prior to trial.
Any party may file a written demand for a trial by jury which must be filed no later than 14 days before the date a case is set for trial. If the demand is not timely, the right to a jury is waived unless the late filing is excused by the judge for good cause.
Failing to appear for jury duty is considered contempt of court, which can carry serious penalties. You may face fines or, in extreme cases, additional legal action. In some cases, the court might issue a “show cause” order, requiring you to explain why you did not attend jury duty.
