Continuing objection is a legal term used in trial proceedings when an attorney objects to a line of questioning or evidence and requests that the objection remain on the record throughout the trial. This means that the objection continues to apply to subsequent questions or evidence that are similar in nature, without the need for the attorney to repeat the objection each time. Continuing objections are typically used when the same issue arises multiple times during the trial, and the attorney wishes to preserve their objection without disrupting the proceedings with repeated objections.
