Motion for a directed verdict

A document filed with the court during trial, requesting a ruling in favor of the filer based on inadequate opposition evidence, is called a motion for a directed verdict. This is because it directs the court to make a decision based on the evidence presented, rather than allowing the case to continue to trial. The other options are incorrect because a motion for a new trial is typically filed after a verdict has been reached to request a new trial due to errors or misconduct during the original trial. A motion for a judgement notwithstanding the verdict is a request for the court to overturn a jury's decision because it was unreasonable or unsupported by the evidence. A motion in limine, on the other hand, is a pre-trial motion to exclude certain evidence or testimony from being presented during trial.
