Objections, Responses,
Arguments,
Tips and Cases
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.
The key to winning evidentiary debates is objecting and responding with arguments and
supporting authority at your fingertips. That is where Judges Daniel M. Locallo and Gerald F. Grubb's Illinois Objections
comes in.
It uses a
courtroom-friendly format to cover over 130 objections with clear and
concise explanations, trial-tested tips, persuasive arguments, and
supporting cases.
2,000 Recent Cases
Ideally suited to
the demands of trial and last-minute trial preparation,
Illinois
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.
Covers All Important
Objections
Illinois Objections
is more than an evidence book. In addition to evidentiary objections, you’ll
find objections to jury selection, opening statement, closing argument, jury
charges, judicial conduct and more. Coverage of all significant trial
objections—from jury selection through closing argument—gives
Illinois
Objections vastly greater practical value than an evidence-only book.
Delivers More than
Objections
The scope and
breadth of Illinois 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.
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. 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
From pretrial
proceedings through expert testimony to summation, the practical coverage in
this trial practice book will quickly earn its inexpensive keep.
