A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of the January 2025 webcast, Objections from a Judge’s Perspective.
In either a civil or a criminal trial, you must master the art of the objection to be a successful litigator! This seminar provides you with step-by-step instructions on how to make objections, which rules of evidence are applicable, and how to preserve the record in the event your objections are not sustained. You learn how to understand, make, and refute objections at every stage of litigation.
Whether you are making or defending against objections, our speakers offer tips and strategies that can be used for interrogatories, depositions, and trial.
You will receive the electronic version of the 2024-2025 edition of Objections: Interrogatories, Depositions, and Trial—a $147 value. This easy-to-use quick reference for any situation is broken down into “Objections to Content” and “Objections to Form.” Not only does it explain the bases for dozens of common objections, it also shows you exactly what to say in response.
