- Confirm the exhibit numbering scheme in the assigned judge's pretrial order.
- 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 Superior Courts list eFileGA (Odyssey), while Cobb Superior Court lists only PeachCourt.

Applicable Rules & Citations
Primary Rule
USCR 7.2 - Pretrial order lists each side's documentary and physical evidence, and exhibits must be marked before trial. Check the pretrial order for any rule on subparts.
Formatting
USCR 7.2 - Exhibits marked before trial. Exhibits should be identified with enough detail for opposing parties to identify them and object.

eFileGA / PeachCourt - provider varies by court. Not confirmed — check the filing portal.
Deadlines
Per pretrial order or judge's order - no uniform statewide deadline. Check the assigned judge's standing order for exhibit delivery requirements.
Georgia's Unique Numbering System
Numbering Format - Follow the Pretrial Order
Georgia practice may differ from other states. USCR 7.2 requires counsel to mark exhibits before trial as the assigned judge's pretrial order directs. Check the assigned judge's pretrial order, since conventions differ by court:
Correct (Georgia)
1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
All parties, per pretrial order
Wrong (Other States)
P-1, D-A, 1A...
Confirm whether the court allows prefixes or subparts
Why Numbers Only?
A single sequence can reduce confusion about which party offered an exhibit. All exhibits are numbered as the pretrial order directs.
- Check the pretrial order for the plaintiff's starting exhibit number
- Check the pretrial order on whether the defendant continues the plaintiff's sequence
- Confirm in the pretrial order whether designations like P-1, D-1, A or B are allowed
- Check the pretrial order on whether exhibits may carry subparts such as 1A.
E-Filing File Size
Check the limit in the portal before you file
Caps are set per court; confirm yours with the court's e-filing system (Not confirmed — check the filing portal). File-size figures circulating online 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

eFileGA (Odyssey)
- Fulton County (Atlanta)
- DeKalb County
- Gwinnett County
- Several metro Atlanta counties
PeachCourt
- Cobb County
- Many Georgia superior courts list PeachCourt only
- Different interface/workflow
- Confirm the portal’s file size cap

Common Georgia Rejection Reasons
File Size Over the Portal Limit
A filing may be rejected if it exceeds the cap your county's portal enforces. Compress and split large exhibits.
Using Letters or Prefixes
USCR 7.2 prescribes no exhibit numbering format; follow the assigned judge's pretrial order. Confirm the judge's requirements before using P-1, D-A or letter designations.
Using Subparts (1A, 1B)
Check the pretrial order for any rule on subparts. Check the assigned judge's pretrial order for how each exhibit should be numbered.
Wrong E-Filing System
Confirm which e-filing provider your court uses before filing.
ExhibitPrep applies one consistent exhibit labeling scheme, but confirm the format your judge's pretrial order requires before filing. Stamp eFileGA-ready exhibits now →
