Ind. Criminal Rule 2.7
Written Motions and Legal Memoranda
Effective January 1, 2025
All written motions must include specific contentions supported by cogent reasoning and pertinent legal authorities.
(A) Motion to Dismiss.
A separate legal memorandum must accompany a defendant's motion to dismiss. Additional
requirements are prescribed by Ind. Code § 35-34-1-4.
(B) Motion to Suppress.
A defendant who seeks to exclude evidence must make a timely objection at trial. To facilitate
judicial economy, counsel is also strongly encouraged to file a pretrial motion to suppress at
least ten days before a jury trial. Moving counsel must clearly state the items or statements to
be suppressed and the basis for the suppression.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
