Attorneys who will offer exhibits during trials and hearings should coordinate with each other so that each side utilizes a different identification system for its exhibits.

Movants and plaintiffs should use numbers to identify their exhibits. Respondents and defendants should use letters to identify their exhibits.

If there are more than two parties involved in a dispute that will require exhibits, the parties should use some combination of party name and numbers or letters. For example, if Shane and Bank of London are both plaintiffs they could use Shane-1, Shane-2, Shane-3, etc. and BOL-1, BOL-2, BOL-3, etc., respectively.
