An exhibit binder is a physical or digital collection of documents, evidence, and exhibits that are presented in court as part of a legal case. It serves as an organized, easy-to-navigate reference for both the legal team and the court to track, access, and understand the various pieces of evidence being introduced.
The binder typically contains:
● Copies of Exhibits: Physical or digital copies of the documents, photographs, charts, or
any other materials that are being presented as evidence.
● Exhibit Index: A list that catalogs each exhibit, often with brief descriptions of their
relevance to the case.
● Tabs or Dividers: Sections that separate each exhibit for easy access and reference.
● Cover Sheet: A title page that often includes the case name, number, and a summary of
the contents.
It is important to make sure that you have enough copies for everyone including the judge, opposing counsel, witness, and the clerk. You should have four exhibit binders.
They should all match up identically, be tabbed correctly, and include a face cover. Ring sizes can be up to five inches, but should split into separate binders if going over that amount. Exhibit binders are typically used in both civil and criminal cases, serving as an indispensable tool for attorneys, witnesses, and the judge.
