Amended motions for a new trial may be filed in a municipal court of record.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only with permission after denial
• D. Only when the original motion is denied

Answer: (A)

Amended motions for a new trial are allowed in a municipal court of record. After a verdict, you can pursue post-trial relief through a motion for new trial, and in a court of record you may file an amended motion to add or modify the grounds—such as bringing in newly discovered evidence or correcting legal arguments—so long as you stay within the time limits for post-trial relief. This flexibility ensures you can present all meritorious issues that may affect the verdict. The ability to amend is not limited to situations where the original motion was denied or require special permission; amendments are permissible within the established timing rules.
