broadside objection

A quick definition of broadside objection:

A broadside objection is when someone in court disagrees with something and says so without giving a specific reason. This type of objection only saves the issue of whether something is relevant or not. It's like saying "I don't like it" without explaining why. It's different from a specific objection, where someone gives a reason for why they disagree. In parliamentary law, a broadside objection can also be used to stop a controversial topic from being discussed without debate. In patent law, an objection is when an examiner finds a problem with the way a patent application is written or drawn, but it doesn't mean the idea itself is bad.

A more thorough explanation:

A broadside objection is a type of objection made in court without specifying any grounds in support of the objection. It is also known as a general objection. This type of objection only preserves the issue of relevancy.

For example, during a trial, a lawyer may object to a question asked by the opposing counsel by simply saying "objection, your honor." This is a broadside objection because the lawyer does not provide any specific reason for the objection.

The purpose of a broadside objection is to quickly and efficiently object to a line of questioning without revealing the specific grounds for the objection. This can be useful in situations where the lawyer wants to preserve the objection for the appellate record but does not want to reveal their strategy to the opposing counsel.
