   As son as the question is asked, you should state Objection, ___ and the basis for the objection such as hearsay or assumes facts not in evidence or no foundation, etc.

   You can only object to a question that violates the rules of evidence. That means that you have to know the rules of evidence and how to apply them.

   Here’s a list of objections with a short explanation of when they are appropriately used. This is probably sufficient for a high school mock trial.
