Bill Of Particulars Legal Definition

What does Bill Of Particulars mean in American Law?
The definition of Bill Of Particulars in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:
In criminal procedure, a formal statement delivered by the prosecution to the defendant (often by order of court) giving further details about the crime alleged in the indictment, e.g., the precise time, place, and manner of its execution. The purpose is to aid the defendant in preparing his legal and factual defense by giving him facts not necessarily conveyed by the formalistic language of indictments. See, e.g., Fed. R. Crim. P. 7. In civil procedure, a similar document was sometimes required, but in modern practice its place is generally taken by the whole arsenal of modem civil discovery (e.g., Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 et seq.). But Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(e), authorizing a “Motion for More Definite Statement” which may be brought before filing a responsive pleading, serves almost the same specific purpose as the old civil bill of particulars.
