Things to consider when defending yourself in court:
Supporting Documents:
Discovery / Brady request
Prosecutors may claim pretrial discovery is not permitted by the rules; this is true in some places like New York, however, Brady material is STILL required. Don’t let them get away with not providing it. (how does one go about not ‘letting them get away with not providing it’?)
NOTE: Some “states” do not recognize a Brady request. SEE terms and definitions)
Make sure you plug in all the correct names, addresses and the docket number in the Discovery document

Request for Judicial Notice
Make sure you plug in all the correct names and docket #.

Motion in Limine
The Motion in Limine is only for when the motion is denied and they enter a plea for you and force you to trial. In that case, you file it ASAP after they give you a trial date.
In U.S. law, a motion in limine (Latin: “at the start”; literally, “on the threshold”) (Latin pronunciation: [in li’-mih-nee] is a motion to request that certain testimony (including witness testimony) be excluded. A judge, in both civil and criminal proceedings, decides the motion. It is frequently used at pre-trial hearings or during trial, and it can be used at both the state and federal levels.
The Motion in Limine is filed just before trial, and at least a week or two (or three, if there’s time) after you’ve submitted your discovery request and received whatever the prosecution sends you (if anything). Quite often the prosecution will not respond at all, or respond with a copy of the complaint (ticket), or sometimes respond with a cookie cutter response of a request for discovery from you. There is no need to respond to their request for discovery, it is often merely an attempt to confuse or confound you.

Certificate of Service (CoS)
Some documents contain a ‘Certificate of Service’ (CoS) on a separate page, as the last page of the document. This certifies to the court you’ve sent to the opposing party an exact copy of what you’re filing in the court.
The CoS should reflect the method used to submit a copy to the opposition;
- If serving in person, the CoS would say “delivered by hand to the address(es) below”.
- If mailed, “mailed by first class postage paid mail. “
The CoS should have the address of the opposition party(s) below the method description and the signature line where you sign to ‘certify’.
If the cop is the one representing the prosecution, the cop’s name would go below, with the police stations business address.
If a prosecutor has been assigned, the prosecutors name would go below, with the prosecutors office address.
Who and how to Serve
To file a document into court,
Make sure you enter the correct names and docket #.
- Original and copy for the clerk of the court (you can mail them), and
- Copy of each (motion & discovery request) to the cop, or, if there is one, the prosecutor.
Note: Don’t mail to cop if there is a prosecutor unless your state rules say otherwise; this could be considered “tampering with the witness.
If there is a prosecutor, send filings only to the prosecutor, unless your state rules say otherwise.
The court gets an exact copy of the documents you sent to the plaintiff/opposition.
