contemporaneous-objection rule

Read a random definition: cut a check

A quick definition of contemporaneous-objection rule:

The contemporaneous-objection rule is a legal principle that says if someone wants to challenge the admissibility of evidence in court, they must object to it at the time it is presented. This objection must be made formally on the record and as soon as possible. By doing this, the judge has a chance to correct any mistakes and the issue can be reviewed on appeal.

A more thorough explanation:

The contemporaneous-objection rule is a legal doctrine that requires a timely and proper objection to be made during a trial for the issue of admissibility to be considered on appeal. This means that if a party wants to challenge the admissibility of evidence presented during a trial, they must object to it at the time it is presented.

An objection is considered timely if it is made as soon as possible after the evidence is presented. It is also considered proper if it is made formally on the record. These requirements give the trial court a chance to correct any errors and preserve the issue for appeal.

For example, if a lawyer believes that a piece of evidence is irrelevant or unfairly prejudicial, they must object to it when it is presented in court. If they fail to do so, they may not be able to challenge its admissibility on appeal.

Another example is if a witness is asked a question that is objectionable, such as one that calls for hearsay evidence. The lawyer must object to the question at the time it is asked in order to preserve the issue for appeal.

What does "Hold" mean on the result column?
21:28

babycat

A hold is not exactly a waitlist, but it means they’re waiting to give you a decision later

@llama: nice
21:32
@ClockworkBlue: what babycat said, the link reads as the school always initiates the 'hold' status, however [in my case] sometimes applicants ask to be placed on 'hold' pending a score (LSAT, final semester of UG, etc).
21:32
@babycat: just had to get that off my chest.
cornell kira is just about performing well under pressure and having substantive content in your questions
so just try to stay calm and pace your responses so you give good answers during the interview
21:44

yeah pretty much, you get some leniency too. they expect you to not be perfect under pressure
