1 Mock Trial Objections The basics of every objection allowed in the Mock Trial universe.
2 Questions calling for a Narrative answer/narrating Questions that are vague and allow for a long, drawn out answer are inappropriate Ex.) Attorney: Tell us what you know about the case. When objecting, the attorney should stand and say Objection. This question calls for a narrative answer. or Objection. The witness is narrating.
3 Relevance Relevant evidence is evidence presented that tends to prove or disprove any fact related to the case. Ex.) Attorney: What did you have for breakfast? When objecting, the attorney should stand and say Objection. This question is irrelevant.
4 Character of the Witness Character evidence is evidence that concerns some trait about the witness other than honesty or truthfulness. Ex.) Attorney (crossing a lay witness): Miss, can you please explain to the court why you received a speeding ticket 5 months ago? When objecting, the attorney should stand and say Objection. This question calls for improper character evidence.
5 Lack of Personal/Professional Knowledge Questions that call for hearsay testimony or a lay witness s opinion are inappropriate as they call for something that the witness has no knowledge of. Ex.) Attorney: Do you think that the driver was drunk at the time of the hit and run? When objecting, the attorney should stand and say Objection. The witness does not have the personal knowledge to answer this question.
6 Leading Questions Only allowed during cross-examination and when laying foundation, leading questions are questions that suggest the answer. Attorney: The money was under the hay bale, correct? When objecting, the attorney should stand and say Objection. Counsel is leading the witness.
7 Beyond the Scope Questions that cover information outside of what the crossing attorney/re-directing attorney brought up in questioning are considered beyond the scope. When objecting, the attorney should stand and say Objection. Counsel is asking a question which is beyond the scope of my cross/re-direct examination.
8 Hearsay Perhaps the most common objection, Hearsay is an out of court statement being offered in court to prove the truth of the matter asserted. Ex.) Attorney: Now Ms. Smith, you say that you heard your neighbor say that he was going to kill his wife? When objecting, the attorney should stand and say Objection. This question calls for hearsay. or Objection. The witness s answer is based on hearsay. When objecting to hearsay, be ready for a fight as there are a plethora of ways to get around a hearsay objection.
9 Argumentative Argumentative questioning is when the opposing attorney questions the witness roughly or in a harsh tone. Ex.) Attorney: You killed your wife!! When objecting, the attorney should stand and say Objection. Counsel is being argumentative.
10 Badgering Similar to argumentative questioning, badgering the witness is when the opposing attorney asks the same question several times in order to harass the witness, usually done in a harsh manner. When objecting, the attorney should stand and say Objection. Counsel is badgering the witness.
11 Asked and Answered Asked and answered is when a question that has already been asked and answered is being asked again. Most often, attorneys do this when they don t get the answer they wanted. When objecting, the attorney should stand and say Objection. This question has already been asked and answered.
12 Assumes Facts Not in Evidence Questions that assume facts not in evidence jump straight to the point without showing how they got there. In other words, they ask about facts that have not been shown to exist. Ex.) Attorney (without proving there was a pie in the first place): You stole the pie, didn t you? When objecting, the attorney should stand and say Objection. This question assumes facts not in evidence.
13 Lack of Foundation Lack of foundation is an objection that arises when an attorney begins to question a witness about a certain subject without first proving that (s)he is qualified to answer questions about said subject. Ex.) Attorney: Can you tell the court a little about how the bomb was built? When objecting, the attorney should stand and say Objection. Counsel has not laid the appropriate foundation. NOTE: The opposing party may ask for you to explain how the appropriate foundation has not been laid.
14 Speculation Closely tied to Lack of Personal Knowledge, speculative questions ask a witness to testify to the motives, intentions, or reasons behind the actions of another without knowledge of said motives, intentions, or reasons. Ex.) Attorney: Why do you think he did it? When objecting, the attorney should stand and say Objection. This question calls for speculation.
15 Unresponsive The attorney directing or crossing a witness may object if the witness does not directly respond to the questions put to him/her. Witnesses may also be unresponsive if their testimony goes beyond what is asked. When objecting, the attorney (who should already be standing) should say Objection. The witness is being/has become unresponsive.
16 Unfair Extrapolation Unfair extrapolation is when a witness includes testimony that was not originally included in the case materials and this testimony can potentially affect the trial s outcome. When objecting, the attorney should stand and say Objection. The witness is unfairly extrapolating. or Objection. The witness s testimony is going beyond the information provided in the case materials. NOTE: This objection should only be made if the extra information has a profound impact on the trial.
17 Something to remember with objections in Mock Trial Most of the time in Mock Trial, attorney will say Objection followed by just the objection. They then offer a brief explanation. Ex.) Objection, assumes facts not in evidence. There is no evidence that my client knew this Mrs. Smith that opposing counsel is referring to.
18 Read the following excerpt from the affidavit of Rankin Bass carefully, then decide on the appropriate objections for the upcoming scenarios. On one occasion, I overheard a man who was selling homemade pastries at the market telling his wife that the reason no one was purchasing their goods was because the Spree Party made them outcasts. He said that he thought the Spree had spies coming to the Knave Party organization meeting that reported who was in attendance. He felt that it was not just a coincidence that his business declined shortly after he started going to the meetings. In my opinion, his pastries were not very good. Maybe that had something to do with his lack of customers.
19 Directing Attorney: Rankin, how did you know this pastry salesman s political affiliation? Rankin: Well apart from hearing him say he was a Knave, he had a sign saying I Hate Oprah Xram! (the ruler at the time), who was a Spree, and after someone walked by and claimed they were a Spree, he threw a pastry at them. Crossing Attorney: Objection. Unfair extrapolation. ANSWER
20 Crossing Attorney: Now, Miss Bass, what color were these pastries? Directing Attorney: Objection. Relevance. ANSWER
21 Crossing Attorney: You said this man was selling homemade pastries? Rankin: Yes. Crossing Attorney: He sold pastries? Rankin: Yes, home-made. Crossing Attorney: So, he was a pastry salesman? Directing Attorney: Objection. Asked and answered. ANSWER
22 Crossing Attorney: Do you think this pastry salesman was a Unabomber? Directing Attorney: Objection. Speculation. ANSWER
23 Crossing Attorney: How can you say his pastries were not good!? Are you familiar with the Freedonian customs and food choices? Directing Attorney: Objection. Argumentative. ANSWER
24 Crossing Attorney: Miss Bass, what was this pastry salesman s financial situation? Directing Attorney: Objection. Lack of Personal Knowledge. ANSWER
25 Directing Attorney: Miss Bass, let s go back a little to something we forgot to talk about my first time around questioning you Crossing Attorney: Objection. Beyond ANSWER the scope.
26 Rankin: Well, let me start from the beginning (talks for 1 minute) Crossing Attorney: Objection. Narrative. ANSWER
27 Crossing Attorney: Miss Bass, do you have a criminal record? Rankin: No. Crossing Attorney: But I have here that you ve been busted for speeding, and it looks like you received a ticket. Directing Attorney: Objection. This question calls for improper character evidence. ANSWER
28 Crossing Attorney: Miss Bass, this pastry salesman allegedly attended Knave meetings? Rankin: Of course he sold pastries. Crossing Attorney: But he did attend Knave meetings? Rankin: Well, yes and no. I heard him say something, but I can t really tell for sure. Crossing Attorney: So is that a yes or a no? Rankin: Well Crossing Attorney: Objection. Unresponsive. ANSWER (Usually the attorney does not say objection for this.)
29 Directing Attorney: And what, if anything, did this salesman say? Crossing Attorney: Objection. Hearsay. ANSWER
30 Crossing Attorney: Miss Bass, what hand did you hold the gun in? Directing Attorney: Objection! Assumes facts not in evidence. ANSWER
31 Directing Attorney (1 st Question): Miss Bass, will you please tell the court about the incident concerning the pastry salesman. Crossing Attorney: Objection. Lack of foundation. ANSWER
32 Crossing Attorney: You heard this pastry salesman say business had gone down? Rankin: Yes. Crossing Attorney: You re telling me that you heard him say his business had gone down? Rankin: Yes. Crossing Attorney: How can you be sure of this? Were you part of his business? Directing Attorney: Objection. Badgering. ANSWER
33 Directing Attorney: Rankin, you said the pastries tasted bad, right? Crossing Attorney: Objection. Leading. ANSWER
34 One final note Keep in mind that the vast majority of objections in the Mock Trial universe will not be even close to this easy or clear cut. Most objections can be overlapped. Other things may seem objectionable when in actuality they are not. Keep practicing the objections and hopefully you will have them mastered by the time the competition comes around.
