Deposition Exhibit

Deposition Exhibit

Exhibits are marked sequentially, shown to the deponent, and attached to the transcript. Numbering may continue across depositions in a case or restart, depending on the parties' agreement.

Remote depositions require electronic exhibit handling.

Depo Exhibit, Exhibit (Deposition)

Why it Matters?

Continuous numbering across all depositions in a matter avoids the confusion of multiple documents bearing the same exhibit number, and agreeing on that convention early is worth the brief conversation.
