Exhibits must be appropriately titled. Any exhibit title containing derogatory or
prejudicial information will be renamed by the Clerk.
Do not put exhibit numbers in your exhibit titles. Case Center will assign an exhibit
number to each exhibit upon upload, and will number Plaintiff’s exhibits and Defendant’s
exhibits separately (e.g., Plaintiff’s exhibit 1; Defendant’s exhibit 1, etc.).
Do not submit duplicate exhibits. It is essential that the parties confer to avoid
submitting duplicate exhibits.
Original Depositions will not be marked as an exhibit. Original depositions to be used
for impeachment purposes shall be provided in paper form to the Clerk on the first day of
the hearing/trial to be hand-filed.
If large charts or blow-ups are anticipated to be used, please include a small version (or
photo) which can be marked as the exhibit. The charts and blow-ups are used for
demonstrative purpose only, are not marked as the exhibits, and are returned.
The Court, Clerk, and all counsel and self-represented parties will have access to the
exhibits through Case Center. The Court will not have paper copies of exhibits available for
witnesses. Counsel may use the Case Center presentation software or may use their own trial
presentation software to present exhibits to witnesses and the jury, as long as counsel can avow
that the exhibits they present are true and accurate copies of the Court’s exhibits. These matters
will be discussed further at the Final Trial Management Conference.
