Local Practice Notes
Exhibits must be exchanged and pre-numbered, and Local Rule 3.53 recommends allocating each party a block of numbers, such as 1 to 200 for the plaintiff. Exchange 5 calendar days before FSC. Confirm with the assigned department how many tabbed exhibit sets it expects at trial. This traces to LA Local Rules 3.52, 3.53, 3.25. Confirm current practice with the Los Angeles County clerk's office before trial, since standing orders can change between cycles.

Los Angeles County Exhibit FAQs
How are exhibits numbered in Los Angeles Superior Court?
Local Rule 3.53 describes the most efficient method as arabic numerals with a block of numbers allocated to each party, for example plaintiff 1 to 200 and the first defendant 201 to 400. The same rule requires documentary exhibits of more than one page to be internally paginated in sequential numerical order. The assigned department sets the form of that pagination in its courtroom information sheet or trial order, so confirm it before the final status conference.
How many sets of exhibit binders does Los Angeles Superior Court require at trial?
Confirm with the assigned department how many tabbed exhibit sets it expects, for example for the court, opposing counsel and the witness stand.
Which LA County courthouse handles my civil case?
It depends on the case type and amount in controversy -- major civil hubs include the Stanley Mosk Courthouse (Central District), Santa Monica, Torrance, Pomona, and Van Nuys. Confirm your assigned courthouse on the case docket before showing up with exhibit binders at the wrong building.
