Free companion app

You have about two seconds to decide whether to stand.

Every ground of objection under the 2019 Revised Rules on Evidence, searchable by what the question is actually doing. The free edition carries Chapter 1 in full — the twelve objections to the form of a question — and the preservation sequence that applies to all of them.

What it does

Diagnose

The trial-card diagnostics from every chapter, phrased by what the question is doing rather than what the objection is called. Scan, tap, say the line.

All ninety

Every objection with its short form, the long form for when the bench asks you to explain, when to raise it, the governing provision, the counter-arguments you will hear and the answers to them.

Preserve

The five steps, always two taps away — plus the five grounds that cannot be repaired, and the three objections that are wrong as a matter of law in a Philippine courtroom. Free, because getting these wrong costs cases.

Free edition and full edition

Free, for anyone

  1. Objections 1–12 in full — the form of the question
  2. The diagnostic for every ground, so you can always find the right one
  3. The preservation sequence and the irrecoverable five
  4. Works offline, installs to your home screen

Complete edition

  1. All ninety objections, not twelve
  2. Unlocked with the code printed in the book
  3. Same app, same icon — it fills out in place
  4. Still works offline once unlocked

The other seventy-eight appear in the free edition by name, so it will always tell you which ground to reach for. The app gives you the words and the timing; the handbook gives you the argument behind them, the effect of a ruling either way, and the authorities.

Courtroom Objections Under Philippine Law

The handbook treats all ninety objections under the same sixteen headings: the words to say, the governing provision, the counter-arguments and the answers to them, what follows from a ruling either way, and the authorities. It also carries the comparison tables for the objections that are routinely confused, and the admission workflows from the proponent’s side.
