Attorneys should attempt to refer to the exhibits by their assigned letter for identification prior to admission in evidence. When, and if, evidence is admitted, the Clerk will then assign a number to the exhibit. This ensures the parties, the Clerk, the Court, and the record speak to precisely the same items.
