Many jurors and judges both, after trial, respond that the actions of the attorney negatively impacted on their decision making process. Jurors complain about the interruptions and breaks taken to deal with objections. Judges complain about the number and duration of sidebars to resolve objections. As an advocate, you have many tools in your arsenal to assuage these concerns. First, make sure that the judge provides the appropriate instruction to the jurors about the role of the attorney and the purpose of objections.
Jurors look to the judge as the voice of reason and respectability.
Hearing this from the judge prepares the jurors for the inevitable objections to come. Second, use the proper form in making and responding to objections. Lengthy, rambling objections quickly signal to both your opponent and the factfinder that the objection is not well founded. Failure to connect the factual basis of the objection to an evidentiary principal is also fatal. Third, have a good faith basis for objecting.
