Top 10 Objections in Court (MUST KNOW)
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 07. 2024
- These 10 trial objections are the most commonly made objections in court so they are SUPER important. (Keep reading...)
Whether you are preparing for mock trial or actual trial, you need to have these essential objections mastered before you argue in front of a judge and jury.
As you'll see in this trial advocacy video, we go over objections like leading the witness, speculation, asked and answered, narrative, relevance, argumentative, and hearsay.
And we also discuss how objections can be both your hammer and your shield (hence Captain America on the thumbnail) during a jury trial.
That way you can potentially weaken the other side's case, get your objection sustained (or their objection overruled), and prevent the jury from hearing improper evidence.

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?
Law Venture objection your honor. Hear say.
Objection your honor, lacks foundation
Out of court statement by Dwight offered in court for its truth .... Dwight can offer this himself (he is on the beet farm )
Just plain ole hearsay
Objection hearsay
Had to watch this to fully understand why everything is being objected in the Johnny/Amber case.
BINGO me too !!
Same here lol
Same
The lawyer objecting to his own question was pretty hilarious.
Although... I'm still confused, because wasn't he objecting to the ANSWER that was given, as hearsay?

Elaine gave you some real proper leading examples for sure she was basically an autocue for her witnesses :')
When you’re in mock trial and all you know how to do is be a witness but your teacher decides to make you an attorney this year and you have three months to learn all the objects and how to Direct and cross a witness
CURRENTLY ME
Why doesn’t this have more likes? It literally saved me in mock trial
Glad the video helped!

Seriously? That's amazing!
Same!
I am a paralegal student. I had a mock trial with a real judge. I was responsible for cross examination. I watched this video and I rocked it! Thank you so much for sharing this. It's a great video. I'm sure your paid course is good. Thank you again. I really lean from your videos
Glad you did well! And I appreciate the kind words!

@@tawdryhepburn4686 i made this comment for myself, listing only the ones I found pertinent to my mock trial the coming week. Btw I was the prosecuting attorney and we won the trial
@@MrToasterWaffles ah! Thanks for explaining. And good idea.
I have a mock trial coming up, and your videos are really helping me be better prepared! Thank you, Jarrett!
Happy to hear it and good luck!
I love that he actually gives advice how to use these abjections. Dude were just here to understand Jonny/Turd trial. :)
All attorneys know the only way to object is yell and a gust of wind will attack the witness or prosecutor
#sorcery
Gyakuten Saiban anyone?
Thank you so much! I'm familiar with mock trial, but I've only been a witness before. This has been a major help in preparing me to be an attorney for the first time.
I am here after watching johny depp trial
You are so right. I'm here after seeing that trial.😅
Watching this just for Depp V Heard. Shallow? Probably.
Got a big case in 3 hours this helped alot. Er also could you do a tutorial on how to make a case in 3 hours?
Hey Jarrett I am in the middle of 2 cases right now. Your videos are so helpful! Great job!
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
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.
As Judge Judy once put it, never tell the court what anyone else said, did or saw. Only what you saw, did and said
@@LawVenture oh my goodness thank you! That one question is the whole reason I was on this video, it didn’t make sense before
Really impressive Jarrett, thank you, wishing you much success, I hope you will produce more.
I definitely have a ton of content ideas scheduled out for this channel! And thanks!
Need this for the Johnny Depp trial lol
This needs to aired in every law school's evidence class. This is GREAT!!!!!!
Haha I really appreciate it!
Gonna have a mock trial in about a week as a literature project, this is going to be a great help
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 ??
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.
That's not what a " Jury of your Peers" means...
Too easy to be corrupted
Where's the music when he yells objection?
Here because of the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trail. :)
have my first mock trial tournament in like two months; you a real one
Good ass video thanks. Looked at the views excepting to find hundreds of thousands based on the fact it was so professional and edited well, but only to see it has a few hundred. Great video really
I really appreciate it! And I'm hoping that if this video keeps getting likes and comments like this, then it's just a matter of time
Great video, Jarrett! Really impressive. Every lawyer should master these objections.
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL. Thank you!
Happy to hear!
Thank you for educating the members of the public. Many of us are self reppin and this valuable.
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.
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.
Very good. Thank you.
thanks. this is so helpful for the jd ah trial
Thanks, Mr. Stone. This was a great lesson.
You’re very welcome!
I'm also here because of the Depp v Heard trial, to boost my understanding.
Thanks for the good explanations, I don't believe I knew the last one.
#JusticeForJohnnyDepp
Very well put, very educational, and yur music is classically soothing
Glad you think so!
"The testimony clearly contradicts the evidence!"
This is a great video 👌
Thanks for the great help, I have a mock trial... Nah, just watched depp/amber trial!... Objection hearsay!!
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
Now I need to go back and watch all the Law & Order episodes and see if they are using the objections correctly.
Let me know what you find out haha
I'm working on my first small claims case and watching your video is helping. 10:31
Thank you. Very informative
You're very welcome!
See Jonathan Psiter replies
So this is only for a trial, is that correct? I’m going to court to contest a restraining order & represent myself. Are objections allowed outside of a trial hearing?
During Direct, my witness explains a relevant conversation they had with another witness. Could a hearsay objection become sustained by opposing counsel?
what if you’re in a hearing that only has a judge no jury. Such as a custody hearing . Can you make objections ?
Can motion to strike the testimony work in the same way as disregard the testimony
Is it allowed for the state to parade the version of the defense counsel while they are doing Direct Examination on their witness?
Thank you
Can I only object in the presence of jury or can I object when jury is not present when the other party is talking?
Your content is well-made. It's a crime those lousy gaming contents is getting more likes and subscribers than this. Keep up the good work.
Well the law isn't the sexiest topic to watch on CZcams... but it's probably top 5 though... so I don't know what the deal is haha
don't be like that please. Game and reaI law talk are two different things... don't even try to compare the popularity.
what subject you need as well them classes as well
Im playing the ace attorney trilogy and now I have an ambition to study law, it probably morphed my idea of being in a court room, what's your opinion?
Don't bring parrots as a witness
@@thetorocat *AHEM* a radio, an orca,a helicopter, a dead man
Really like the delivery of the video. Also coming from the Johnny Depp vs AmberTurd. I'd say would be cool to see your reaction to the court case as well.
And you even have captions! Props to you. Thanks for the good explanations. Really helped me to understand the objections.
Hi, I just signed up law venture and for some reason, I did not get the cheat sheet sent to me.
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 ...
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!
Ive spent the the last 5 years an over 100k in court with my X as shes tired to get custody of our now 8 year old daughter, her new boyfriend has way more $ than me to , but after 5 years an 4 shity lawyers your videos an me as my childs lawyer an by the way im not an attorney, im just not the pos drug addict an abusive parent , that constantly gets caught in lies an disobeys every state guideline an court order ! Your awsome man an ive watched an read so much over the years an honesty i feel like you have helped me more than 4 lawyers an over 100k spent ! How much do i owe you bro ? LoL cause your worth every dime !
I’m humbled by the kind words! 🙌
I have a lot question a about law school or program and college school as well
Awesome video!!! How do I get to the cheat sheet?
The reason why I'm watching it is I'm super interested in law and doing my own personal study starting with objections my class uses objections a lot
"So I was walking down the street.. "OBJECTION!" .... On my way home from work.."OBJECTION!" ... I was about 20 feet from my house.."OBJECTION!" Almost as if someone dont want the truth out!
I love your video
You forgot the most important one for Amber Heard’s team: “Objection: We’re losing”
Who else is here cuz of Johnny and amber Defamation case?
"Jury will disregard"
No they won't
It's really hard to "unring the bell," which is why a Motion in Limine is extremely important
-bull
some year
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...can... prove it.
For myself:
Leading = Your Honor, this question feeds the answer to the witness.
Speculation =
Speculation = The witness is not an expert and therefore cannot testify on said issue
Thx
You’re welcome
Hi Jarrett! I followed the link and submitted my info for the objections cheat sheet about 10 minutes ago. Is there a slight delay? I would really like to access this!
I just got it. Thank you!
@@BrettWB88 Glad to hear it!
Thank you, I filled out the requests and would love to see that cheat sheet, thanks!

@@LawVenture Hi! Where can I get the cheat sheet? I don't see the link.
Thanks!
Hey there! If you go in the description below the video, the link is right after "** FREE Cheat sheet: 21 Trial Objection + BONUS"
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.
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.

I was excited to recieve the free objection sheet you mentioned in the intro but I have not yet receive it. :(
This guy is on to something.
It’s good to know exactly what and when to object but you don’t want to piss the judge off. Lol
Mine's the best objection 😎
Amber Heards lawyer sent me.

Objection, relevance.

arent we all here now because of the amber heard and johnny depp trial, hearing those words when i have no idea about any single thing in this law field but i curious to know the meaning
I’m representing myself in an administrative appeals case w NH dept health and human services. I’m hoping to bring down the non profit agency taking care of my sister and the dept of HHS Lol. I have so much proof I’ve been completely ignored and the attorney generals office has serious concerns about what’s been allowed. I’m psyched to go in and use my law and order knowledge. I’ve been studying for 6 months on tortes and parental alienation and the dsm book. I’m calling witnesses etc. fingers crossed!
Good morning please send me the link to Cheat sheet please.
so thought
Learn Your Land with Adam Haritan was going to show and say hello to his brother

How do you object to an entire case ?
Imagine your public defender was watching this video before the trial
How do you object if you are representing yourself and the judge AND the prosecutor are abusing their oath of office? Can you imagine being in a courtroom facing lies on top of lies on top of lies?
Hearsay is my favorite!
What does objection beyond the scope mean
The objection beyond the scope of the trial just means that the question asked or the answer given was not within what the trial was trying to determine. Does that help? :)
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?
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.
OBJECTION!
See replies to Jonathan Psiter
Not me preparing to take myself to court in my head.
See Jonathan Psiter replies
Is asked and answered only for cross examination?
99% of the time it'll be used during cross examination, however, there may be a situation when you can try it during direct. If someone keeps asking the same open-ended question during direct, you may want to also make a 403 objection as well since that deals with not wasting the court's time.
Fun fact:
You came here to learn why Johnny Depp’s lawyer kept saying objection
Who comes here after watching JD-AH's trial, like me? 🤣
Its like a blocked punt in football.
Where's the "Objection! Counsel for plaintiff is lying and interrupting me constantly!" Is that one?
Im here to fully understand what the hell is happening in Johnny depp and Amber case lol
Are Facebook posts made by the op hearsay
Objection! The autopsy report has been updated.
Objection! You are not a clown, you are the entire circus.
Objection! Guilty!
Objection! That was .. objectionable!
Objection! Darker and more bitter than the depths of hell ... Coffee
Did I get them all? They can speak for themselves, they know who they are.

WHAT IF--- a party wants to admit a "mortgage" that is supposed to be a lien on property, BUT the "mortgagor" had no title, and therefore the mortgage is void? ..we cannot just assume the "mortgagor" had clear title to the property, because then we would just have people recording mortgages on property that they had no title to...florida is a hot spot..
