A statement made by an attorney, during a trial, hearing or deposition, or in connection with a pleading or discovery request, by which the attorney raises a question as to the propriety of a matter. For example, an attorney may object to something the other lawyer has asked, said or presented to the court. The court may sustain the objection, indicating the objection is valid or the court may overrule the objection, indicating that the objection is invalid and that the other attorney may proceed with the question or issue raised.
