Knowing the technical bases for objections is not so difficult. Law school covers that. What is much harder is recognizing a good objection very quickly when your opponent puts a question to a witness or starts using a document. This handy guide identifies the "cues" to listen for when your opponent asks a question or the witness gives an answer. These words or phrases that are the "cues" that tell you instantly that you likely have a good objection. When you know the cues, you can object rapidly and successfully. For documents, this guide also provides the "signals" that support a useful objection. For example, many lawyers miss the objection to "lay opinion" when the writer of a document gives his own view of why something happened. Cues and Signals gives you details on every objection that has been recognized in federal courts and sorts out the high-payoff objections from those of lower priority for both oral testimony and exhibits. Everything you need on objections is in one audiobook.
