In our legal system, there are many reasons why an attorney might make an objection. They might object that the opposing attorney is asking a witness leading questions on direct examination. They might object that the other attorney’s question to a witness is argumentative, meaning that it is not so much a question as an argument. They might say that the opposing attorney is asking their witness to speculate or to guess at something rather than simply stating things they know to be true. There are many other grounds for objection. A list of possible objections can be found by clicking a link within the link below.
In order to object, a lawyer simply has to tell the judge that they object as soon as the objectionable question has been asked or the objectionable statement made. The judge may require the attorney to specify the grounds on which they are objecting. The judge then rules on whether the objection will be upheld.
