In legal proceedings there are restrictions on what constitutes valid evidence.  The primary objections to defective evidence are:
 +
 +
*hearsay (rules 801, 802, 803 and 804)
 +
*form (confusing, leading, calls for speculation, etc.)
 +
*lack of foundation
 +
*the question is argumentative
 +
*the statement assumes facts that are not in evidence
 +
*the best evidence rule
 +
*lack of personal knowledge
 +
*improper impeachment
 +
*too much of a narrative
 +
*calls for opinion
 +
*mischaractizes evidence
 +
*privileged
 +
*public policy
 +
*Rule 403 (a grabbag of other objections including irrelevant, asked before and already answered, too much prejudice, a waste of time, etc.).
