The courtroom moves fast. Sustained trains you to move faster. Testimony rolls in line by line, exactly the way it does at the podium. Catch the problem, make the call, and get an instant ruling with the rule cite and a clear explanation — sustained, overruled, or the hardest call of all: no objection. BUILT FOR REAL PRACTICE • 1,500+ rotating scenarios drawn from family-law fact patterns: custody, enforcement, support, property division, protective orders • 28 grounds on your bench card — hearsay and its exceptions, leading, improper predicate, best evidence, privilege, settlement and mediation confidentiality, and more • Expert-witness drills: qualification, reliability, basis, bolstering, and the four corners of the report • Traps included: party admissions that look like hearsay, excited utterances with the predicate laid, wide-open cross — the objections you should NOT make TRAIN LIKE A LITIGATOR • Practice mode: untimed, with full rulings and cites • Trial mode: eight seconds to rise or waive — silence counts • Daily Docket: seven questions a day, scheduled by spaced repetition against your weakest grounds • Free recall: no bench card — produce the ground cold, like court • Pairs: near-twin drills where one question draws the objection and its twin comes in clean • Hands-free voice on supported browsers and devices: the record is read aloud in distinct voices KNOW WHERE YOU STAND • Per-ground accuracy, mastery status, and a review schedule that resurfaces what you miss • Pause anytime, step back through every ruling, and review the full round Built on the Texas Rules of Evidence. Scenarios are simplified teaching hypotheticals — real rulings turn on the record, the predicate, and the bench.
