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

Objections in reality are much rather than TV portrays. TV loves drama, court rooms hate it.

Whether a question can be asked will depend upon various reasons. It’s usually not a wording issue. It might impinge upon excluded evidence or information, such as past convictions, for example.

But generally any questionable questions like that would be raised without the jury present before asking. Every ineligible question asked raises the chance of it allowing an appeal down the line or causing a mistrial.

Judges don’t like mistrials or lawyers who cause mistrials. They’re expensive and a waste of everyone’s time. Do it maliciously, negligently, or too much and you’ll be disbarred. Pissing off judges and being incompetent is also a very bad career move.

Judges may allow inappropriate questions for various reasons, often much the same reason opposing counsel may not object. It may be irrelevant or actually help the other side, or calling attention to it may make it more prejudicial not less (in which case I’d expect a dressing down to come later).

It depends a lot on the kind of question and why it’s inappropriate. If its as simple as rewording would fix it, it probably isn’t worth objecting.
