<p begin="00:00:06.00" end="00:00:14.70">During either the direct examination or cross examination of a witness, an observer may hear the opposing attorney cry out, “Objection!”</p>
<p begin="00:00:14.80" end="00:00:19.40">That means that the objecting attorney somehow believes that the question asked</p>
<p begin="00:00:19.50" end="00:00:24.60">by the opposing party was against the rules, and therefore should not be allowed.</p>
<p begin="00:00:24.70" end="00:00:33.20">In Ohio, there are Rules of Evidence that govern what can and cannot be asked, and in what form a question may be asked.</p>
<p begin="00:00:33.30" end="00:00:41.60">If an attorney perhaps violates a rule, the opponent may object to the question, like calling a foul in a pick-up basketball game.</p>
<p begin="00:00:41.70" end="00:00:50.10">Once an objection has been made, the objecting attorney may need to explain to the judge why he or she feels the question violates the rules.</p>
<p begin="00:00:50.20" end="00:00:57.00">It’s then up to the judge to uphold the objection, sustain it, or overrule the objection.</p>
<p begin="00:00:57.10" end="00:01:03.00">This legal minute is brought to you by the Ohio State Bar Foundation.</p>
