Exhibits, Shows and Displays

If an attorney goes to court for trial without his exhibits, what happens?

But the judge has copies of the exhibits and so does opposing counsel. What would happen?

Public Comments

1. The judge will decide whether or not to allow the pictures as acceptable evidence.
2. It depends. If the judge wants the original copies of the exhibits for comparison, then this attorney is in trouble. He could lose his case.
3. Well, for one, the attorney is going to ask for a continuance (coming back on another day) or even just a brief recess (coming back in 15 or 30 minutes) to get the exhibits. Or, they'll send one of their minions back to go get them. This is the reason that most attorneys have offices that are very near to the courthouse- so that they can go back to do research or the like during brief breaks.
