Federal Court Requirements
Federal courts require exhibits to follow FRCP Rule 26(a)(3)(A)(iii). Requires pretrial disclosure of all exhibits, distinguishing those expected to be offered from those that may be offered if needed. FRCP Rule 5.2: Privacy protection requiring redaction of SSN (last 4 only), birth dates (year only), financial accounts (last 4 only), and minor names (initials only). Central District of California: Local Rule 11-5 requires paper exhibits attached, numbered consecutively. Small exhibits must be mounted on 8.5x11 backing. ExhibitPrep's combining PDFs feature is built around exactly this: exhibits produced by the tool already match federal courts' formatting and marking conventions.
