What do you call the judge's ruling when s/he agrees with an attorney's objection?

• A. Overruled
• B. Voir Dire
• C. Sustained
• D. 4th Amendment

Answer: (C)

When an attorney makes an objection and the judge agrees, the ruling is sustained. This means the objection is upheld, and the questioned question or evidence is blocked or restricted from being used. If the judge had disagreed, the objection would be overruled, allowing the question or evidence to proceed. The other terms don’t fit this situation: voir dire refers to jury selection, not a ruling on an objection, and the 4th Amendment is a constitutional protection about searches and seizures, not a procedural ruling in the courtroom.
