Commercial Litigation Exhibit Checklist
Organize contracts, correspondence, and damages evidence for breach of contract, business disputes, and complex commercial cases.
- Email chains as exhibits should be ordered chronologically (or reverse chronologically) with key passages highlighted and a summary index attached.
- Contract exhibit packages include the primary agreement, all amendments, related correspondence, performance records, invoices, and payment records.
- Federal Rule of Evidence 1006 permits summary exhibits to present voluminous financial data that would be impractical to examine directly in court.
- Damages exhibits are best structured to match the case's damages theory: lost profits, additional costs, mitigation efforts, and expert calculations.
- Corporate records and meeting minutes are organized separately from transactional documents like invoices and purchase orders.
- Document productions in commercial cases are frequently large enough to require a tracking system to avoid duplicate or missing exhibits.

Commercial Litigation Exhibit Checklist FAQ
How do I organize email chains as exhibits?
Print email chains in chronological order (oldest first) or reverse chronological (most recent first, matching how people read emails). Highlight key passages and create a summary index of important emails.
What contract exhibits should I include?
Include: the primary contract, all amendments, relevant correspondence about contract terms, performance records, invoices, payment records, and any documents showing breach or non-performance.
How should damages evidence be organized?
Structure damages exhibits to match your damages theory: lost profits evidence, additional costs incurred, mitigation efforts, and expert calculations. Use summary exhibits (Rule 1006) for complex financial data.
