an objection to certain questions or testimony during a trial which has been "overruled"
by the judge, but the attorney who made the objection announces he/she is "continuing"
the objection to all other questions on the same topic or with the same legal impropriety
in the opinion of the attorney. Thus a "continuing" objection does not require an
objection every time the same question or same subject is introduced. Example the
attorney for the plaintiff (the person suing) begins asking questions about emotional
distress, which the defendant's attorney objects to as "immaterial," but the judge
allows the first questions. The defense attorney states he has a "continuing" objection
to all questions about the emotional distress.
