Mississippi Exhibit FAQs
What exhibit marking system do Mississippi courts require?
Mississippi uses a UNIQUE party-neutral consecutive numbering system under UCCR Rule 3.05. ALL exhibits are marked starting at 1 and are NOT identified by party. Exhibit labels should be centered at the bottom of the first page.
Is e-filing mandatory in Mississippi courts?
E-filing through MEC (Mississippi Electronic Courts) is currently optional in Mississippi. The file size limit is 20 MB per document, which is smaller than most states.
How do parties prepare exhibit lists in Mississippi?
All parties prepare ONE combined exhibit list together. This is different from most states where each party prepares their own list. Coordination between parties is required before trial.
What are the exhibit label requirements in Mississippi?
Exhibit labels must be centered at the bottom of the first page. Consult with the Court Reporter for specific label specifications. Have copies ready when offering exhibits.
Are there special exhibit considerations for Gulf Coast casino cases?
Yes. Harrison County (Gulfport) and the Mississippi Gulf Coast handle significant casino and gaming industry litigation. Gaming cases often involve specialized exhibits such as gaming licenses, regulatory compliance documents, and surveillance footage requiring Gaming Commission authentication. Additionally, the Gulf Coast sees hurricane and insurance litigation with unique documentation requirements. While exhibit marking follows the same party-neutral UCCR Rule 3.05 system, gaming evidence may be subject to Mississippi Gaming Commission confidentiality rules.
