What term is used to indicate that a lawyer's objection to questioning or testimony is valid?

Sustain
Overrule
Dismiss
Reject

The correct answer is: Sustain

The term that indicates a lawyer's objection to questioning or testimony is valid is "sustain." When a judge sustains an objection, it means that they agree with the objection and have ruled that the question or testimony in question is not permissible under the applicable rules of evidence or procedure. This is a critical aspect of courtroom procedures, as it helps ensure that only relevant and admissible evidence is considered during a trial. In contrast, when an objection is overruled, it signifies that the judge does not find the objection valid, allowing the questioned evidence or testimony to proceed. The terms "dismiss" and "reject" are less applicable in the context of objections during trial proceedings; they typically refer to dismissing a case or rejecting a motion but do not specifically pertain to the evaluation of an objection in the courtroom.
