Local Practice Notes

Given the caseload New York County Supreme Court carries, exhibit procedures are frequently set at the department level rather than the courthouse level. Verify formatting and exchange timing with the specific judge's courtroom deputy or clerk rather than relying solely on the general 22 NYCRR 202.34 text.

New York County Exhibit FAQs

Who sets exhibit procedures in New York County Supreme Court -- the courthouse or the judge?

Practically, the individual judge. Given the caseload New York County (Manhattan) Supreme Court carries, exhibit formatting and exchange timing are frequently set at the assigned part level rather than uniformly courthouse-wide, so check with the specific courtroom deputy or clerk rather than relying only on the general 22 NYCRR 202.34 text.

What makes Manhattan's Commercial Division exhibit rules different?

Commercial Division cases in New York County follow 22 NYCRR § 202.70 Rule 28, which requires pre-marking all exhibits, identifying objections with specificity, exchanging trial exhibits at least 14 days before trial, and including bookmarks and hyperlinks in memoranda -- stricter than a standard Supreme Court part.

What is the NYSCEF file size limit for New York County exhibits?

50 MB per document in New York County, half of NYSCEF's statewide maximum of 100 MB but still generous compared to most other states' e-filing caps.
