    Argumentative meaning & definition 5 of Argumentative.


  • 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.
