a request for a judge's order to eliminate all or a portion of the legal pleading
(complaint, answer) of the opposition on any one of several grounds. It is often
used in an attempt to have an entire cause of action removed ("stricken") from the
court record. A motion to strike is also made orally during trial to ask the judge
to order "stricken" answers by a witness in violation of rules of evidence (laws
covering what is admissible in trial). Even though the jury is admonished to ignore
such an answer or some comment, the jury has heard it, and "a bell once rung, cannot
be unrung. "
