Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

During a civil trial, the plaintiff has called a witness to the stand to testify about a car accident. The defendant’s attorney objects to an improper question directed at the witness by the plaintiff’s attorney. The judge sustains the objection, instructs the plaintiff’s attorney to rephrase the question properly, and orders the jury to disregard the original question. Under the rules governing the mode and order of evidence, what is the basis for the judge’s control in this scenario?

  • The judge upholds a party’s right to rehearse witness testimony before presenting it in court.

  • The judge ensures adherence to court rules, including regulating questioning to prevent confusion, time-wasting, or irrelevant evidence.

  • The judge maintains impartiality by permitting broad discretion in witness questioning without interference during trial proceedings.

  • The judge enforces the jury’s authority to evaluate the propriety of attorneys’ questions through deliberation.
