California: every page numbered

A second fictional matter, prepared for a Los Angeles Superior Court trial binder. Los Angeles Superior Court Local Rule 3.53 provides that documentary exhibits consisting of more than one page must be internally paginated in sequential numerical order. The exhibit stamp itself carries the page: Exhibit 1 on the first page of the 24-page medical records, then Exhibit 1-2, Exhibit 1-3 … Exhibit 1-24. The one-page photograph is Exhibit 2; the six-page lease reads 3, 3-2 … 3-6 beside its own footer. Four exhibits, 34 pages, one contents page.

Watch every page being numbered (under 1 min, captioned)
The first page of the medical records with a yellow EXHIBIT 1 stamp at the top right: the first page carries the plain exhibit label

Review a correction

The inspection report in Exhibit C originally says 4 units require replacement. The revised report says 6. Its label and page count stay the same, so the packet looks identical from the outside: a stable label does not mean the underlying document is unchanged. The revised packet is prepared the same way.

Exhibit C, the original inspection report, concluding that 4 units require replacement
OriginalConclusion: 4 units require replacement.
Exhibit C, the revised inspection report, concluding that 6 units require replacement, with the same label and page count
RevisedConclusion: 6 units require replacement. Same label, same page count.
