Module 2
Overview of the Criminal Justice System

Objections

During the questioning of a witness, the other party may make an objection if they believe a question posed or the answer given is legally improper. This is a question of law for the judge to decide. The judge will either:

  • sustain the objection: the objection has been granted and the witness does not have to answer the question; or
  • overrule the objection: the objection has been denied and the witness can answer the question.

This module will be available to you as soon as you complete Module 1. To complete a module, you must read each of the lessons and complete the review quiz at the end.

It is important to finish Module 1 so that you have sufficient context for the rest of the program. After that, you'll have full access to jump between lessons however works best for you.

Tip: In the left sidebar, you'll notice a vertical bar of squares. Each square represents a lesson in that module. You can see at a glance which lessons you've done (brightly colored) and which ones you have not (gray).
