Text
(a) Admission or exclusion of evidence. Error may not be predicated upon admission or
exclusion of evidence, unless:
(1) As to evidence admitted, a contemporaneous objection is stated with reasonable
certainty as required in Rule 5:25 and 5A:18 or in any continuing objection on the record to a
related series of questions, answers or exhibits if permitted by the trial court in order to avoid
the necessity of repetitious objections; or
(2) As to evidence excluded, the substance of the evidence was made known to the court
by proffer.
(b) Hearing of jury. In jury cases, proceedings will be conducted so as to prevent
inadmissible evidence from being made known to the jury.
