San Diego County Exhibit FAQs
What are the tan exhibit tags San Diego courts require?
Confirm exhibit tagging and marking requirements with the San Diego Superior Court clerk and the assigned department before trial.
How many San Diego courthouses might my civil case be assigned to?
Four: the downtown Hall of Justice, plus North County, East County, and South County branches. Confirm which one your case is assigned to before finalizing exhibit binder logistics, since travel time between branches can be significant.
What e-filing format does San Diego Superior Court prefer for exhibits?
Confirm the court's required e-filing format and whether e-filing is mandatory for your case type. Exhibits also need to be tabbed and indexed with a separate exhibit list prepared for trial.
How do I lodge exhibits with a Notice of Intent in San Diego family court?
Under San Diego Superior Court Local Rule 5.5.5, family law exhibits over 10 pages -- and recorded media like CDs or DVDs -- are lodged rather than filed. File and serve a Notice of Intent to Lodge Documents (SDSC Form #D-235 or pleading format) listing each exhibit with your moving, opposition, or reply papers, then lodge a booklet with exhibits tabbed to match the notice, Bates-stamped or numbered consecutively, and a conformed (filed) copy of the notice as the front page. Lodge no sooner than 10 and no later than 5 court days before the hearing, and confirm your department's current instructions.
