Objecting to Erroneous Court Rulings in Federal District Court - Module 0046

In today’s session we will be talking about the importance of objections and how to make them to preserve error on appeal. Here is an overview of the topics we will discuss:
1. The two purposes of lodging objections;
2. Understanding differences between errors made by a judge versus a jury;
3. The several rules you must follow for making objections; and
4. When the failure to make a timely objection might be excusable.
Now that you have an overview of today’s topics, let’s get started…
1. There are two reasons for a party to make objections. The first is to convince the court of the merits of the party's position. The second is to make a record of the objection so that the party can later claim on appeal that the trial judge made a material, reversible mistake.
Almost every rule of procedure can serve as a ground for objecting. Usually, if a rule calls for the performance of some action by a party or the court, the beneficiary of the rule may object to its non-performance. The objecting party simply needs to state the proper objection and the grounds for it, at the time of the ruling.
2. Before making an objection, the party must determine whether the source of the error stems from the jury or the judge. Normally, the jury is the finder of fact or decides issues of fact. For example, a jury decides which side’s witness is more credible. The jury's task is to listen to the evidence and answer the questions the judge submits. So, a mistake by the jury is an error in evaluating the evidence. It is not a mistake about misapplication of law to fact. Much depends on whether there is a jury trial or non-jury trial to decide the case.

What are some good objections or case law to site when a motion is filed for leave to have more time to respond to a counter claim when a default has been filed?
