Q: Judge asked for an indexed trial exhibit notebook before my final divorce hearing, can this be a word doc with photos?
Can someone explain what this is and if I can't create a word doc, what format is the court looking for?
Thank you
A: If the trial is in person then the judge is asking for a binder with the exhibits that you intend to use with labels and/or an index. Contact the judicial assistant if you need clarification.
