This is the time to get rid of anything and everything which has no relationship to your trial preparation. The only documents needed are those which may be referred to at trial. These should be arranged in trial notebooks with copies for the court and counsel all other should be filed separately. Tab all pleadings so that you can find what you need immediately. They should be organized chronologically, In complex cases, summaries with page and line references are helpful.
Only rarely will correspondence be necessary for trial. Generally, the only reference will be for motions. Interrogatories, Requests for Admission and Request for Production with responses should be indexed and tabbed. Discovery that you plan to use at trial should be prepared so that you can easily read the question and the response from a single document.
Make sure that each question has a clear reference to the set number, the question number and the dates of service both of the discovery and the response.
Make sure you have at least 2 copies or original and a copy of all depositions you intend to use at trial. The original of each deposition should be lodged with the court at the beginning of the trial and certainly prior to your cross-examination of an adverse witness.
Your copy should have all areas of potential impeachment highlighted and you should have an index in the front of each adverse witnesses' deposition setting out the page and line of each area of anticipated impeachment. Pursuant to local rules in almost every jurisdiction, exhibits must be pre-marked and exchanged prior to trial.
Your Exhibit List will be the one document most referred to by you at trial. Make sure you can read and understand it. Make at least 4 copies of each document. One for the court, one for the witness, one for opposing counsel and one for your use. Whenever possible, the original should be the one shown to the witness and introduced into evidence. Nothing interrupts your flow as much as having to stop each time you refer to an exhibit to show it to opposing counsel before you can use it.
Note: documents used exclusively for impeachment may be the exceptions to this rule. Dramatic effect may be enhanced as the beads of sweat form on the forehead of your opponent as he views the smoking gun for the first time as he sits at counsel table. However, with our discovery rules, this rarely occurs. Exhibits should be kept in separate books from the other documents for ease of reference.
Make sure the court has an exhibit notebook just like yours. For all exhibits that will be read from extensively or refer to critical aspects of the case, you should have enlarged so that the jury can follow along. This also enables you to highlight aspects you feel are important, whereas you may not do this on the original document.
This will also be important to your final argument. Separate files should be made for each witness. In each witnesses' file you should include a copy of their deposition summary, your direct or cross-examination outline, resume and an index of all exhibits pertinent to the witnesses' testimony. Those documents may be separately marked and included on your exhibit list.
Redwells are generally best for keeping these documents together and easily accessible. They also make it easy to grab the files for each witness to take home to prepare for the next day. A Separate notebook should be made for immediate access to documents prepared for trial.

She is on trial for eight counts centered around the accounts of four accusers who have been identified as Jane Doe 1 to 4. Protesters gather in support of Daunte Wright on the third day of jury deliberation outside of the Hennepin County Government Center on Wednesday, Dec.
Former Minneapolis police officer Kim Potter, who is white, is charged with first- and second-degree manslaughter in the shooting of Wright, a Black motorist, in the suburb of Brooklyn Center. Potter has said she meant to use her Taser — but grabbed her handgun instead — after Wright tried to drive away as officers were trying to arrest him.
Death of Daunte Wright. It's starting to look like beads on a string or, rather, a trail of ants. This, however, seems to be the end of the line, as your scanners do not manage to sense any more incoming drone ships.
This is starting to look like beads on a string or, rather, trail of ants, and there seem to be more out there! Again you manage to get your claws into three small convoys. Killing these is easy, like stealing candy from a child.
One can just follow these guys and rake up the goodies.
