Are directed verdicts or dismissal motions entertained in this program?

• A. Yes, always.
• B. Only in civil cases.
• C. Directed verdicts are allowed with permission from the judge.
• D. No directed verdict or dismissal motion may be entertained.

Answer: (D)

This program is set up to focus on evidentiary issues at trial and uses a fixed flow that does not include procedural motions. Because of that, directed verdicts and dismissal motions are not entertained; the scenario proceeds without asking the judge to rule on those procedural questions, so every issue you address centers on how evidence is admitted and evaluated rather than on terminating the case or directing a verdict. The other options would imply the standard trial practice or some conditional allowance for such motions, but they don’t fit the program’s structure.
