Preparing, Pre-circulating and Staging Electronic Exhibits

Virtual court matters, such as evidentiary hearings, can be conducted efficiently utilizing electronic exhibits pre-circulated to all parties. This method of presenting documents can avoid the need to screen share in ZoomGov altogether or can be utilized to provide additional support while presenting through ZoomGov.

Please note, each judge has his/her own procedures for electronic submission and use of exhibits. Consult the judge’s trial procedures for the exact requirements. For instance, often judges expect the parties to make good faith efforts to resolve all evidentiary issues prior to the pretrial conference or trial date. Additionally, in term of sharing exhibits with parties, the required number of days in advance of the pretrial conference or trial date will likely differ so remember to always refer to the Judge’s trial procedures for the actual number of days.Art of the Possible Preparing Exhibits
