Description

Objections are a necessary skill for every trial lawyer. By objecting, an attorney is asserting that certain testimony or a question violates a rule of evidence. However, some attorneys use the objection process improperly to disrupt their opponent's evidentiary presentation.

Most improper objection behavior comes in the form of "speaking objections." A speaking objection is an outburst made in the form of an objection. Sometimes a speaking objection will reference or be tangentially related to a rule of evidence, and other times the speaking objection may have nothing to do with an evidentiary issue and simply be an argument or assertion by the attorney.

It is one thing to be able to identify a speaking objection, but it is another thing entirely to successfully deal with speaking objections in the heat of a trial.

Listen as this experienced panel of trial lawyers discusses effective techniques to anticipate, prevent, and even leverage speaking objections during depositions and trial.
