TO OBJECT OR NOT OBJECT, THAT IS THE QUESTION: A CRIMINAL LAW PRACTITIONER'S GUIDE TO THE "FIVE W'S" OF EVIDENTIARY OBJECTIONS.

- Abstract
Objections provide criminal law practitioners with power. By lodging an evidentiary objection, a practitioner can prevent an opposing party from introducing evidence, preserve appellate review of evidentiary issues, and impact the way in which the parties introduce evidence at trial. However, to be effective, practitioners must understand the "five w's" of objections; specifically, "when," "how," "where," about "what" and "why" to object. By analyzing these five penultimate questions, criminal practitioners will be able to answer the ultimate question; "if' they should object at all. By applying this methodology, criminal practitioners will be better able to lodge convincing objections, which will have a positive impact on their clients' cases.
