By objecting to or challenging an issue or error at the lower tribunal level, an appellant is able to raise that same argument in his appeal. The appellant must make the objection at the lower tribunal level in order to give the lower tribunal an opportunity to correct the mistake. If the appellant does not make the objection at the lower tribunal level, he may not make an argument on the same issue in his appeal.
