Help classifying pretrial motions?
Find answers to your legal question.

Can someone please provide me with some examples of pretrial motions? Also, what would a motion to strike, motion for extension of time, objections motions and a motion for continuance be classified as? Are these discovery motions, pretrial motions, dispositive motions or some other type of motion? THANK YOU!

All of the motions that you have listed are pretrial motions. A pretrial motion is simply any motion that is filed prior to trial. There are different categories of pretrial motions. Generally they fall into discovery, dispositive, pleading motions and miscellaneous. A motion to strike may be any of the above depending upon what is being stricken. A motion for extension of time may be a discovery motion or miscellaneous depending upon what the extension is that is being requested. A motion for continuance could be a discovery motion or a miscellaneous motion.
