A quick definition of continuing objection:

A continuing objection is when a lawyer doesn't like a certain type of question and the judge has already said no to their objection. Instead of saying no every time the question comes up, the lawyer can ask for a continuing objection. This means that the objection is still there every time the question is asked, without the lawyer having to say it again and again. The lawyer asks the judge for permission to do this, and if the judge says yes, it saves time. Continuing objections are usually done so the lawyer can argue about it later if they need to.

A more thorough explanation:

A continuing objection is when a lawyer objects to a certain type of question during a trial, and the judge has already ruled against the objection. Instead of objecting every time the topic comes up, the lawyer can ask for a continuing objection. This means that the objection is preserved for every mention of the topic, which saves time in court.

For example, if a lawyer objects to a question about a witness's criminal record and the judge overrules the objection, the lawyer can ask for a continuing objection. This means that every time the witness's criminal record is mentioned, the objection is already on record and the lawyer doesn't have to object again.

Continuing objections are often used to preserve an issue for appeal. This means that if the lawyer disagrees with the judge's ruling and wants to appeal the decision, they can use the continuing objection as evidence that they objected to the topic multiple times during the trial.
