I say this based only on my television/movie viewing experience, since I've had the good fortune never to have to step inside one. Yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In courtrooms, it's objections that are overruled.Within the realm of parliamentary procedure, objections may also be overruled during the course of a trial in disciplinary proceedings, and a precedent established by a ruling of the chair (or by an appeal taken from a ruling by the chair) may be said to be overruled by a subsequently established precedent conflicting with it, but that's about it.
