Georgia Court Exhibit Requirements
Master Georgia exhibit requirements under USCR 7.2 for Superior Courts. Georgia is unique: numbers only, no letters - all parties use sequential numbering.
Applying serial numbers to a 40-exhibit set by hand takes about 2 hours. ExhibitPrep stamps the whole set with USCR 7.2-compliant numbers-only labels in minutes.

- Georgia Uniform Superior Court Rule 7.2 requires exhibits to be serially numbered with no alphabetical or numerical subparts.
- Georgia is the only U.S. jurisdiction where plaintiffs and defendants share a single continuous numbering sequence (1, 2, 3) instead of using P-1/D-1 or letter prefixes.
- Georgia publishes no confirmed statewide per-document file size cap for e-filed exhibits — the limit shown in the filing portal controls.
- Fulton, DeKalb, and Gwinnett counties file through eFileGA (Odyssey), while Cobb County and many rural counties use PeachCourt.
- Exhibit exchange deadlines in Georgia are governed by each case's pretrial order under USCR 7.2 rather than a uniform statewide rule.
- Designations like 1A, 1B, P-1, or D-A are prohibited under USCR 7.2 — each document must carry its own unique whole number.
- Fulton County Superior Court may require digital format copies of exhibits for courtroom display systems in addition to e-filed PDFs.

Georgia's Unique Numbering System
Numbers Only - No Letters Allowed
Georgia is unique among all U.S. jurisdictions. USCR 7.2 mandates serial numbering with no alphabetical or numerical subparts. Unlike other states that use P-1/D-A or similar systems:
Correct (Georgia)
1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
All parties, sequential
Wrong (Other States)
P-1, D-A, 1A...
No prefixes or subparts
Why Numbers Only?
Georgia's approach eliminates confusion about which party "owns" an exhibit. All exhibits are simply numbered in order of introduction, creating a single unified sequence.
- Plaintiff's first exhibit = Exhibit 1
- Defendant's first exhibit = Exhibit 2 (or next in sequence)
- No P-1, D-1, A, B, or any other designation
- No subparts (1A, 1B) - each document is separate
E-Filing File Size
Check the limit in the portal before you file
Georgia publishes no confirmed statewide per-document cap (Not confirmed — check the filing portal). A widely repeated “1.5 MB” figure circulates online but could not be traced to eFileGA, PeachCourt or the Judicial Council, so treat the limit displayed in your county’s portal as authoritative and size exhibits conservatively.
Tips for keeping exhibit files small
- Compress PDFs before uploading (reduce image quality to 150 DPI for filing)
- Split multi-page exhibits into separate numbered documents
- Convert color to grayscale where possible
- Use PDF optimization tools before ExhibitPrep stamping
eFileGA vs. PeachCourt
Georgia uses two different e-filing systems depending on county. Always verify which system your county uses before filing.
eFileGA (Odyssey)
- Fulton County (Atlanta)
- DeKalb County
- Gwinnett County
- Most metro Atlanta counties
PeachCourt
- Cobb County
- Many rural counties
- Different interface/workflow
- Confirm the portal’s file size cap
Major Georgia Courts
Fulton County Superior Court (Atlanta)
Largest court in Georgia. Includes Business Court Division for complex commercial matters. May require digital format copies for courtroom display systems. Check standing orders for specific exhibit procedures.

Common Georgia Rejection Reasons
File Size Over the Portal Limit
A filing is rejected outright once it exceeds the cap your county’s portal enforces. Compress and split large exhibits.
Using Letters or Prefixes
USCR 7.2 requires numbers only. Using P-1, D-A, or any letter designation violates Georgia rules.
Using Subparts (1A, 1B)
No alphabetical or numerical subparts allowed. Each document must have its own unique number.
Wrong E-Filing System
Filing through eFileGA when your county uses PeachCourt (or vice versa) will fail.
The letter-prefix and subpart rejections are formatting problems ExhibitPrep prevents automatically with USCR 7.2 serial numbering. Stamp eFileGA-ready exhibits now →
