Answer:
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) is a legal document describing a bilateral agreement between parties. It expresses a convergence of will between the parties, indicating an intended common line of action, rather than a legal commitment. It is a more formal alternative to a gentlemen's agreement, but generally lacks the binding power of a contract. I'm confused as to order of events. Laws regarding procedure and evidence vary by state and court. The length of the testimony and number of witnesses will be a factor in the length of the trial. I suggest obtaining a copy of the local rules of civil procedure.
