Defendant's Exhibit FAQ
Why do defendants use letters instead of numbers?
The letter vs. number convention helps courts and parties quickly identify which side introduced each exhibit. This is required by California Rules of Court 3.1110(c) and similar rules in other states.
What if we have more than 26 exhibits?
ExhibitPrep automatically continues with AA, AB, AC after Z. You can label hundreds of exhibits using this standard double-letter convention.
Can the defendant use numbers instead?
While some courts allow flexibility, using letters for defendant exhibits is the standard practice and helps avoid confusion with plaintiff's numbered exhibits.
