Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A motion for a directed verdict is appropriate immediately after the presentation of all evidence at trial. This is because the purpose of a directed verdict is to ask the judge to rule in favor of one party based on the evidence presented, without the need for the jury to deliberate. Therefore, it can only be made after all evidence has been presented, so that the judge can determine if there is enough evidence to support the case of the party making the motion.
