Trial Exhibit Checklist
Before you file
ExhibitPrep formats documents. It does not provide legal advice, submit filings, or determine whether evidence is admissible or a filing meets court requirements.
Some guidance has not been verified against current official sources. A citation supports only its stated claim and scope. Compare the finished PDF with current court instructions and orders in your case. Follow the filing review checklist.
Frequently Asked Questions
What disclosure obligations apply before Maricopa exhibits are even exchanged?
Check Arizona Rule of Civil Procedure 26.1 and the court’s scheduling order for the initial disclosure deadline. A party must obtain leave of court under Rule 37(c)(4) to use information first disclosed after the scheduling or case management order deadline or, absent one, later than 60 days before trial.
How do I e-file exhibits in Maricopa County Superior Court?
Confirm the current e-filing system, file-size limit and format requirements with the court before filing. Exhibits can be attached to motions or lodged separately for trial; check with the assigned division about lodging procedures before a bench or jury trial.
Does Maricopa County use different exhibit labels for family court cases?
Yes. Standard civil cases number plaintiff exhibits (1, 2, 3) and letter defendant exhibits (A, B, C) or number them starting at 100+, but family court uses Petitioner exhibits (numbers) and Respondent exhibits (letters) per family court administrative orders.
What is the actual exhibit exchange timeline in Maricopa civil cases?
Exhibit exchange and joint exhibit list deadlines are set by the case management order, so check it and Rule 26.1 for the controlling dates. The Commercial Court Division commonly compresses this schedule further.
What happens if my case is assigned to Maricopa's Commercial Court Division?
Commercial Court Division cases can carry earlier exhibit deadlines and stricter electronic-exhibit procedures than the standard civil track. Review the division's administrative orders and your case management order together, since the standard 20-day/10-day timeline may not control.
