preceding numbers (B-1, B-2, B-3, or C-1, C-2, C-3, etc.). A single exhibit should be marked only once. If the plaintiff has marked an exhibit, then the defendant should not re-mark the exact document with another number.

Spine labels should indicate the numbers of the exhibits that are in the binders. Each set of exhibit binders shall be marked as "Original".

In addition to the official record exhibits, a single, joint set of bench binders containing a copy of the exhibits must be provided to the Court ten (10) days before the Pretrial Conference, and should be marked as "Chambers Copies". Each exhibit must be separated with a label divider identifying the exhibit number. (An exhibit tag is unnecessary for the bench set.) Spine labels should indicate the numbers of the exhibits that are in the binders. Counsel must consult with each other and with the deputy clerk at the end of each trial day and compare notes as to which exhibits are in evidence and any limitations thereon. If there are any differences, counsel should bring them promptly to the Court's attention. Before closing arguments, counsel must confer with the deputy clerk to make sure the exhibits in evidence are in good order. Counsel may, but are not required to, jointly provide a revised list of all exhibits actually in evidence (and no others) stating the exhibit number and a brief, non-argumentative description.
