Motion to Invoke the Rule Prior to Void Dire: This motion requests that the court invoke the rule before the jury selection process (void dire) begins.

It aims to restrict the prosecution's ability to influence the current witnesses' statements or actions based on what they have heard from previous witnesses. When drafting a motion related to invoking this rule, it is essential to include relevant keywords and legal terminology such as "motion to invoke," "prior to void dire," "enjoin the district attorney," "advising witnesses," and "previous testimony."
