Motion in Limine Clause
(Unemployment Compensation Benefits)

Summary

This clause is for use in a motion in limine brief that asks the court to preclude a defendant from introducing evidence regarding a plaintiff's receipt of unemployment compensation benefits at trial in employment discrimination, harassment, or retaliation claims. This clause includes practice guidance, drafting notes, and alternate clauses. This clause is based on federal law and does not address all potential state law distinctions; thus, if you are litigating a claim in state court, you should check any relevant state and local laws and standards. If you are litigating in federal court, you should check the relevant federal district and appellate court rulings.
