In court there’s objections from the opposite party when if there’s a issue with the question. BUT shouldn’t the judge just say to reword the question if it is not the correct method?

Question

If the opposite party doesn’t object then this bad question gets asked and answered which is Injustice, because it’s bias etc even though everyone in the room may have heard the bad question.
but the lawyer just didn’t object and the judge should step in and say to ask the question differently but instead they just allow this injustice question I don’t understand why.

Update: ok thank you I realized that people say it’s not the judge’s job now this doesn’t solve the problem and if they ask bad questions they need to be told these are bad questions instead of just consistently making the other person object because these bad questions will get through eventually unless you do a million objections I just feel like this is quite suboptimized it should be everyone in the room saying objection if they hear about question not just the other team if I sew a criminal and the police officer I wouldn’t just leave it up to the police officer to capture the criminal I’d point to the criminal and say this is a criminal

The judge’s responsibilities are different from those of the attorneys. The judge is there to keep the conversation focused and relevant. In some cases, the judge may directly block a question without an attorney’s objection, but that would usually only happen in the most egregious circumstances.

Basically, it’s not the judge’s job to make sure that every single question is okay, in fact, the judge might not know, why a question is irrelevant, since they don’t have all of the context.

It’s the attorneys’ jobs to defend their clients’ rights, and the judge is there to uphold those rights. The judge is supposed to pay attention to what the various parties are saying, what their arguments are, if the arguments make sense, and how the law should apply, if they also had to make sure every question and answer are formulated correctly, then it would be much harder to do their actual job.

This kind of thing is also why in more high-profile cases, the parties will have a team of lawyers, with one lawyer focused on driving the conversation, and the others focused on checking the validity of questions, taking notes about what has been said, and advising the main attorney.
