Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
An objection is a way to keep evidence out of the courtroom so the court can't consider it.
- •
If a judge agrees with an objection, the judge will sustain it, meaning the evidence will not be allowed; if the judge disagrees, they will overrule it, meaning the evidence is OK to be considered.
- •
Hearsay is a statement made in court about something someone else said out of court, and it is often objected to because it is considered unreliable.
