Hearing Preparation FAQ
How do I prepare exhibits for a motion hearing?
Motion hearing exhibits should be attached to supporting declarations and cross-referenced in your motion papers. Number exhibits consistently (Exhibit A, B, C or Exhibit 1, 2, 3) and ensure each referenced exhibit is included in your filing.
How do I number exhibits for court hearings?
Check your local court rules for exhibit numbering conventions. Federal courts often use letters (A, B, C) attached to declarations. State courts vary. ExhibitPrep supports any numbering format your court requires.
Should I combine exhibits with my declaration?
Many courts require exhibits to be attached to the declaration that authenticates them. ExhibitPrep can create individual exhibit files to attach, or a combined PDF with all exhibits for courts that accept consolidated filings.
How do I prepare for an evidentiary hearing?
Evidentiary hearings require admitted exhibits. Pre-mark all potential exhibits, organize in the order you plan to introduce them, and prepare witness binders. Consider what exhibits opposing counsel may use as well.
What about exhibits for preliminary injunction hearings?
PI hearings often require evidence supporting likelihood of success, irreparable harm, balance of hardships, and public interest. Organize exhibits by these elements for clear presentation to the court.
