Top 10 Objections in Court (MUST KNOW)

[@LawVenture]

POP QUIZ! You're representing Jim in a jury trial involving a car wreck. The other party's witness, named Michael, is testifying on direct examination and says, "Dwight told me that he thinks Jim was speeding while driving because apparently Jim was trying to beat Dwight to a potential client." What all should you do in this situation and why?

[@colbyjones7486]

I understood most objections from simply watching the Johnny Depp Amber Heard trials BUT I simply don't understand why it's hearsay if somebody literally repeats what THEY themselves said. Just doesn't make sense to me

[@LawVenture]

The short answer is that the quote wasn't under oath. Therefore, the substance of the quote wasn't under oath and could be untruthful.

I love how all the objections are centered around the fact that the Jury are a bunch of easy to manipulate individuals who can't think for themselves. I only wonder why can't the Judicial system include professional Jury members who have experience in the field in question (Homicide/Drug Dealing/Forgery... etc) depending on what are the charges, why isn't that a thing ??

[@abba-Flammenfresser]

Because then it wouldn’t be fair, especially if those “professional jurors”, develop a bias. I’d rather take my chance at a random selection of noob jurors than ones who might be already be coming in with a made-up mind from previous experiences.

[@tomasgonzalez4819]

I've seen about a handful of your videos and they're all great. You're very clear and the way you lay out the information is easy to follow and digest. You sound like a very competent lawyer. If I may make one recommendation... dress more like an attorney. As any sales person worth his commission check will tell you, potential clients judge you in the first couple of seconds based almost exclusively on your appearance. It's not about fairness; it's just the nature of the beast. I recommend levelling up your street cred with a wardrobe in keeping with how you already present yourself: a competent lawyer! I hope you take that as the constructive feedback it is intended to be, and not a snobby attack on your fashion choices. Either way, keep up the content, it's priceless.

[@LawVenture]

I really appreciate the kind words and constructive feedback! When it comes to recording videos these days, I make sure that I have the least resistance as possible. The microphone, camera, tripod, and lights are never moved so I can just fire everything up and start recording in minutes. I find that if there's a lot of set up time, then that resistance can dissuade me from actually recording (especially because I don't always have a lot of free time to record the video). Dressing up for a video has a similar effect. It's just so much easier to turn everything on and start recording with what I was already wearing.

Thank you for educating the members of the public. Many of us are self reppin and this valuable.

[@michaelethangross3395]

I really liked your video but I was a little confused as to the "Argumentative" objection. As I understand it, "argumentative" is when the lawyer tries to argue their case during questioning, i.e. to get the witness to agree to theories or conclusions rather than to provide facts. Argumentative questions would be ones like "So the defendant was already setting up his alibi when he said he was going to be out of town, correct?" or "A positive identification of a rapist who used tape on locks would weaken your assertion that he entered through the laundry room window, wouldn't it?" In contrast, a question such as "What made you change your mind (as to the identity of the intruder), was it the testimony that the intruder used tape on locks instead of crawling through open windows?" would be more along the lines of badgering or harassment. Theories should be saved for the closing argument.

[@LawVenture]

Glad you like the video! The argumentative objection is hard to define because it's very dependent on what is happening in the moment. Objecting to questions that ask for legal conclusions typically don't fall under Argumentative (check out FRE 701 and 702). Instead, Argumentative is usually when the cross examiner goes from asking questions to simply arguing a point with the witness in an effort to get the witness to say exactly what the cross examiner wants. But, cross examination is sort of an argument itself because you want to ask leading questions that tell the story you want to tell during closing (or at least part of it). As such, Argumentative is something you have to determine in the moment because it focuses less on the question itself and more of the tone/intent of the question or statement.

Make sure to get a ruling .... many judges loathe judging “clear it up counselor” is not a ruling .... the elephant in the room is going to be making a bill of review when you know you are right .... with the quality of this content, I would love to see your content: let’s say in an assault case the judge does not lot you use a video the victim did at the hospital that contradicts the visible injuries reported and/or how the injury happened ...

[@LawVenture]

You're exactly right! Making sure that you get a ruling from the Judge helps keep the record clean. And what you're referring to is what's called (at least in my jurisdiction) an "offer of proof." That's definitely something I should make a video about at some point! Thanks for the feedback and input!

[@spinner4life2]

Additional exemption to leading questions is direct examination of adversarial witnesses (rule 611) so if youre questioning someone whom is aligned with your opposition on direct or even someone whom youve valid and credible reason has been tampered with (be sure you can articulate this to the judge) you can request the witness be considered hostile and from there youll be able to handle the line of questioning with "kid gloves" via leading questions to a reasonable degree

The jury can safely disregard with reprimand to the presiding judge for issuing any such order as they are in charge of the proceedings.The idea of the truth emerging from argument refereed from the neutral bench is flawed, but more or less what the founders put in place. These has been replaced over the years by the ABA. If any of it is due process why would it ever be necessary to falsify felony transcripts into fake history? These official records should always be accurate accounts of what happened.Why not? What is the meaning of this practice? No the members of the American Bar Association haven't plausible denial.

I have a question...In the Casey Anthony trial, Jose Baez was cross-examining one of Casey's male friends. Baez asked him if he was in Casey's house when Caylee drowned in the pool. So I shouted out "Objection! Begging the question!" (and I'm not an attorney). Is there any objection that can be made when at attorney does what Baez did--asking a question which pre-supposes that his theory of the case is true?---that Caylee died by drowning in the swimming pool, as opposed to the State's contention that she was killed at the hands of Casey Anthony, i.e., the reason why there is a trial in the first place?

[@georgemartin5980]

Sorry to see no one responded. I’m not really familiar with the defense of the case. It that’s the defense on cross examination to the prosecution’s witness, it sounds like it would be leading the witness because there wasn’t foundation for the question. If they wanted to make that argument, they could lay foundation during their defense and possibly call that witness back. Opposing counsel is limited to asking cross examining questions that are relevant to the witness’s initial testimony.
