Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan
Motions
Can anybody tell me how to get a motion heard in a Michigan District Court? Is there a form or something so that they have to hear it within a certain number of days? I have one for circuit court but can't find one for the district court level. Thanks

Re: Motions
What kind of motion is it? Is it in regard to a civil case, or a criminal case?
The content of a motion is very important because it explains to the court and your opponent what you are asking for, and the legal authority that supports your right to that relief. You may want to consult an attorney privately to review whatever you put together before you file it, to make sure that it is legally sufficient.
The Michigan State Court Administrator's Office web site has PDF versions of a lot of approved court forms, some of which are "motions". Go to http://courts.michigan.gov/scao/courtforms/. If you find something you can use, most of the forms let you "fill in the blank" right on the screen and print it out.
