1. Do Now: Anatomy At the top of the paper you received when you entered…
Write down the order of a trial, starting from the entry of the judge.
Write down what you did this weekend.

2. Objections Used to make trials fair
Occurs when attorney violates rules of evidence
You can object to:
Questions the other side’s attorney is asking
Answers that a witness is giving
Exhibits the other side is admitting into evidence

3. Objection: Irrelevant
Witness’s answer, the question, or exhibit will not help the jury decide the issues in the case

4. Objection: Leading Question
Leading questions are one that suggest the answer to the question, usually can be answered by “yes” or “no”
Only objectionable when done during direct examination

5. Objection: Hearsay Hearsay: statement made outside of the courtroom
Specifically- if one witness is asked to tell what another person said to him/her
Exceptions:
Witness can repeat a statement made by either party if it goes against their side
If a person’s state of mind is important, statements made about that event regarding speakers intent, knowledge, or belief is ok

6. Objection: Lack of Personal Knowledge
The witness is testifying to things that the witness has not directly seen, heard, or experienced
