A temporary restraining order (TRO) is a court order that prohibits a party from taking a particular action, such as destroying evidence, until a formal hearing can be held to determine whether a preliminary injunction should be issued. A TRO is usually only valid for a short period of time (e.g. 10 days) and is intended to maintain the status quo while the court determines whether a preliminary injunction is appropriate.
