Build a trial exhibit list that argues

This page lists three turns, the messages you send to the AI one after another in the same chat, and then a check of the answer. Keep it open next to your chat. Each turn shows the next thing to paste, with the values you entered already filled in. Nothing is sent from this page, and your conversation stays in the AI tool you are using.

Your one-sentence theory plus the three things you must prove to win.

Every candidate document and demonstrative, with dates, authors, and Bates ranges where you have them.

Who you are calling and in what order; this determines exhibit sequence and who lays each foundation.

Court, the evidence rules that apply, and what the pretrial order requires and when.

Your party and the marking convention for your exhibits.

Watch for these throughout

  • The pretrial order controls. Pre-marking deadlines, objection deadlines, and the rule that unlisted exhibits are excluded except for impeachment will beat anything this list says. Read the order first.
  • The model cannot confirm a document was actually produced in discovery or that a Bates range is real. An exhibit that was never produced can be excluded no matter how clean the foundation looks.
  • Business-records certifications, self-authentication, and summary exhibits work differently in state practice than in federal court. Confirm the path in your forum before relying on it.
  • Judges treat demonstratives inconsistently: advance disclosure, admission versus illustrative use, and whether they go back to the jury room all vary. Check chambers practice, not just the rule.
  • A bloated list draws a 403 ruling that cuts the exhibits you needed along with the ones you did not. Cumulative documents cost more than they add.
