Objection!

"Objection!" is a shout out used by many characters within the Ace Attorney series. Based around the real life practice of raising a complaint in a court of law, which is often prefaced by the word "objection", it is used as a means for an attorney to argue that a questioning, testimony, or evidence violates  procedural law. The judge then either sustains the objection if they find it valid, or overrules it they don't.

Within the Ace Attorney however, the usage is much more broad and is simply used to preface any type of argument or issue that an attorney has,

Just as in real life, the judge has the authority to overrule any objections given, as well as sustain them. An attorney can also be penalized for irrelevant and incorrect objections. Although an attorney is allowed to offer an objection to the delivery of a verdict, if they do as such yet don't present a valid reason for it, they will be very harshly penalized.

Only the attorney and the prosecutor may legally raise objections, as stated by Barok van Zieks

 * "Such Insolence!" - Ga'ran Sigatar Khura'in: Used on occasion in place of "Objection"
 * "Hai!" - Ryūnosuke Naruhodō: Roughly meaning "sir!". Used in place of "Objection!" for majority of his first trial, before use begins using objection! regularly.

 * "Satorha!" -  Nahyuta Sahdmadhi: Used in place of "Objection!" on occasion. A Khura'inese mantra that comes from the Japanese word satori (enlighten)
