Overrules
"Objection overruled" is a ruling by a judge that denies an attorney's objection during a trial, allowing the line of questioning or evidence to proceed. This means that the judge has determined the objection raised lacks legal merit and does not have a valid basis in the rules of evidence or courtroom procedure.
If one side is violating courtroom procedure, the opposing attorney has a responsibility to raise an objection to the judge. This can involve pointing out the specific procedural violation and requesting corrective action. Maintaining courtroom decorum and ensuring a fair trial is essential, so both attorneys must be vigilant about adherence to legal protocols. Ultimately, the judge has the final authority to address any violations and enforce courtroom rules.
It is when the judge decides that the objection isn't important enough and decides to not take action for it.
That is the legal term. If a line of questioning in court continues to raise the same objection and the court overrules it, you can ask for a "continuing objection to [description of nature of question/conduct you object to]." If the judge grants it, you're good (as far as preserving error on appeal). If the judge does not grant a continuing objection, you need to keep making it.
In a courtroom setting, it is appropriate to address a judge as "Your Honor."

The Baliff
The Judge has overruled the objection which means that he has found the objection to be without merit in law. The person on the witness stand must answer the attorney's question as asked.
Typically, the judge enters the courtroom first, followed by the jury. The judge takes their seat at the bench, and once the judge is in place, the jury is brought in. This order underscores the judge's role as the presiding authority in the courtroom. After the judge and jury are seated, the proceedings can commence.
The bailiff keeps order in the courtroom and announces the judge's entry. They are responsible for security, maintaining courtroom decorum, and assisting the judge as needed during court proceedings.
