Rule of Thumb on Introduction of Photographic Exhibits into Evidence

It's crucial in trial advocacy to know the rules that govern the presentation of photographic exhibits in the courtroom. It's vital in trial advocacy to know the rules that govern the presentation of photographic exhibits in the courtroom.

An attorney must, and service providers should have a strong understanding of photographic exhibit's introduction. A rule of thumb, the photographic exhibit must be both relevant and authentic.  

  1. related to an issue in the proceeding
  2. authentic in that the display is what it purports to be.

Make sure that during the witness testimony that the photographic exhibit is being introduced the witness is accountable for knowledge about the facts related to the exhibit presentation.


 

We provide trial lawyers with photographic exhibits and recommend information to be included for admitting exhibits into evidence, with confidence. Be sure to have the exhibit marked for identification, show it to your the other parties lawyers, and then ask permission from the judge to approach the witness, then present the image to the witness, layout the foundation for the exhibit, offer to be introduced into evidence finally show it to the jury.
