“Objections are at the heart of any litigation practice. When skillfully used, they can steer the course of a trial by keeping out evidence harmful to your client’s position. And unless objections are timely and preserved on the record, the ability to appeal an unfavorable outcome may be lost.” – Christine M. Reilly, coauthor and Virginia CLE Senior Publications Attorney
This book catalogs the principal objections covered by the Virginia evidence rules, each with full legal support and sample objections. Familiarity with the rules governing admissibility will help you to anticipate your adversary’s use of objectionable material and successfully prevent its introduction. The compact size and tabbed format put the law at your fingertips — ideal for the fast pace of the courtroom when counsel must react quickly to preserve the objection.
The new edition includes rules for using a treating physician as an expert witness, objecting to hearsay issues when medical records are offered into evidence, and preventing a party from raising a new argument on appeal.
