From the research to the rehearsal
A strong motion needs a clear spoken argument.
The feature guide describes hearing practice for motions in limine, speedy-trial demands, and discovery or preservation requests. It is built around explaining the relief you want and handling questions under pressure.
Build the argument before speaking
Argument tiles help you distinguish useful points from distractions. Practice connecting the request, the relevant rule, and the facts supporting it.
Correct the record calmly
Rehearse a factual response when the other side misstates something. Surprise questions and shuffled phrasing keep practice from becoming simple script memorization.
Be concise under pressure
Practice short answers and learn from feedback on patience, composure, and each part of the requested relief. The simulator’s clock is a drill, not a court-imposed deadline.
