Identification
Definition
An Unfair Prejudice Objection is raised when a party in a legal proceeding believes that evidence being presented is more likely to cause bias or unfair harm to one side than to contribute meaningfully to the resolution of the case. In other words, the evidence's probative value doesn't outweigh its unfairly prejudicial impact. This objection seeks to prevent evidence that might unfairly influence the decision-maker's judgment, ensuring that the trial remains fair and impartial.
