Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

During a civil trial, the plaintiff's attorney asks a witness about an incident, but the question posed appears to call for hearsay. The defendant’s attorney objects, stating 'Objection,' but provides no further explanation. The judge overrules the objection and allows the witness to respond. What should the defendant’s attorney have done to properly preserve the objection for appeal regarding the admission of this testimony?

  • Provide the specific legal grounds for the objection and request further clarification or a ruling from the judge.

  • Explain the basis of the objection after the witness has testified.

  • Ask to strike the testimony after the judge has overruled the objection.

  • Make a general objection and allow the judge to infer the specific legal problem with the testimony.
