DJC Q43: When do you set a deadline for the filing of proposed voir dire, proposed jury instructions and/or special verdict form, witness and exhibits lists, motions in limine? Typically, how far in advance of trial are these deadlines?

DJC A43: I typically set these deadlines when I set the trial date. The deadline for filing motions in limine is typically 2 weeks before trial and the deadline for filing oppositions to these motions, along with witness and exhibit lists, proposed voir dire and jury instructions is typically a week before trial.
