CIP CAFE: Objections

An objection is a formal protest raised by a party or counsel during a legal proceeding asserting that an error, contrary to the rules of evidence or other procedural law, has been or will be made. There are objections to questions and objections to answers, those for opening and closing arguments, and specific ones for exhibits and expert witnesses.
