              In the American legal system, argumentative is an evidentiary objection raised in response to a question which prompts a witness to draw inferences from facts of the case.One common misconception is that argumentative questions are meant only to cause a witness to argue with the examiner. This error rests on misunderstanding the word argument. Argument can mean a series of persuasive statements (the legal sense discussed in this article) as well as a verbal fight or disagreement. Thus, an argumentative objection may be raised only when the lawyer himself is making a legal argument under the guise of asking a question. Badgering the witness is the proper objection for a lawyer who is antagonizing or mocking a witness by asking insulting or derisive questions, perhaps in an attempt to provoke an emotional response.

                Argumentative is an evidentiary objection raised in response to a question which prompts a witness to draw inferences from facts of the case. An argumentative objection is raised as badgering the witness.
                Often, argumentative questions do not seek to establish additional facts or check the reliability of existing facts. Instead, they are meant only to cause a witness to argue with the examiner.
                An argumentative objection is often stated as Objection, your Honor, argumentative.
