Whether you are drafting pre-trial motions or arguing a point of law in the thick of trial, Trial Objections can help you get your evidence in and keep your opponent's evidence out.

The 2017 edition keeps you on the cutting edge of evidentiary law and practice. Author Rogge Dunn has added a new section on the admissibility of social media evidence, which includes summaries of 23 new cases, decided by federal courts and state courts across the country, from California to Delaware.

The 2017 edition also includes dozens of new case summaries, covering a wide range of possible grounds for objection, including:

Witness Testimony

• Counsel is impeaching his own witness.
• The question calls for an opinion from the witness.
• The prejudicial nature of the evidence substantially outweighs its probative value.
• The testimony is not proper lay opinion.
• Counsel is leading the witness.

Expert Testimony

• Counsel has not demonstrated the admissibility of the expert's testimony under Rules 702 and 703, Federal Rules of Evidence, and Daubert.
• Counsel has not laid adequate foundation for the expert to express an opinion.
• Counsel has failed to establish proper qualifications for the witness to testify as an expert.
