VI. Trials and Evidentiary Hearings
- Conduct during court proceedings. Speak clearly. State your name and the party you are representing for the record. New attorneys should give the Chambers Support Clerk their business card to ensure correct information in the record.
- Exhibits. For trials and evidentiary hearing, parties must strictly comply with E.D.Mich.LBR 7016-1(d). At least one day prior to the trial or evidentiary hearing, counsel shall arrange with the Chambers Support Clerk, Lori A. Ford at (313)234-5196, to have original documentary exhibits marked. It is the responsibility of counsel to mark copies to be provided to opposing counsel. Parties shall not mark exhibits prior to their submission to the Chambers Support Clerk. At the trial or evidentiary hearing, counsel shall prepare and exhibit list and provided it and three copies of all exhibits: one for the witness, the Judge and opposing counsel.
