Exhibit Naming Conventions

Consider developing an index that captures document date, Bates ranges, Deposition Exhibit numbers and Trial Exhibit numbers. Having a comprehensive index greatly reduces the costs when preparing outlines for witnesses and creating custom demonstratives that rely on trial exhibits. Trial presentation software will access the images quickly for the jury, but it is imperative that all parties rely on the trial exhibit number. At trial, the trial presentation consultant (hot-seat operator, trial tech) must work off the same naming conventions as the attorney.  One suggestion is to electronically add a footer to each page of an exhibit.  Click here to see examples.
