Florida Trial Objections

by Judge Paul Siegel

Object and Respond With Authority

Most evidentiary rulings are within the judge's discretion, and are made in seconds. Bad rulings are almost never reversible. As a result, victory usually goes to the lawyer who can prevail on the big objections in the heat of battle.

Don’t let opposing counsel’s objections block the admission of your critical evidence.  And don’t be caught unprepared when opposing counsel offers evidence you could obstruct – if you made the proper objection.

Whether you are in the courtroom or preparing for trial, Florida Trial Objections will help you use the rules of evidence to your client’s advantage.

Judge Paul Siegel masterfully details 160 objections with pattern objection language, scope of governing rules, practice tips and cautions, arguments for making and responding to objections, and over 1,800 cases.  Now you can more readily:

• Preclude trial objections through motions in limine

• Evaluate the admissibility of the opposition’s evidence

• Preserve the record for appeal

• Decide when to object and when to remain silent

• Respond to objections on the spot and with authority

• Draft briefs on evidentiary objections and motions

• Prevent jury exposure to adverse inadmissible evidence

Ideally suited to the demands of trial and last-minute trial preparation, Florida Trial Objections provides a time-saving alternative to lengthy treatises. Its concise but well-supported text puts the rules and cases at your fingertips. And its practical orientation guides you through the realities of evidentiary battles.

The scope and breadth of Florida Trial Objections far exceeds the mechanics and arguments of making and meeting objections. Rules, definitions, distinctions, scope, weight, advice from the bench, examples, and procedures are provided for key evidentiary issues. Principles are extensively supported with case authority, and the underlying scholarship will impress you.

From pretrial proceedings through expert testimony to summation, the practical coverage in this trial practice book will quickly earn its inexpensive keep.
