Return To PreviousFDS Q52: Do you require trial exhibits to be pre-marked? If so, please describe your practice?
FDS A52: Yes, Every exhibit should have a unique number (for example, Exhibit 13). No letters should be used. There should be only "exhibits," not plaintiff's exhibits and defendant's exhibits. Exhibits can be grouped and marked separately using decimals (for example, Exhibit 13 might be a group of photographs, marked separately as 13.1, 13.2, etc.). Exhibit numbers will not change, even if the document is excluded or not offered. I do not care if the exhibits are offered in numerical sequence, and I do not care if there are gaps in the sequence.
