How to Tab Exhibits for Court — Numbered, Lettered, or No Tabs at All

Here's how to tab exhibits for court, from Tabzoola, the people who print exhibit tabs.

Start with your court's rule, because courts don't all agree.

In New York, plaintiff's exhibits are numbered and defendant's exhibits are lettered.

California wants a hard separator sheet, with the tab sticking out below the bottom of the page.

And some courts ban tabs on the original. The Northern District of Illinois says a paper original shall not have protruding tabs, so you use a printed separator sheet instead.

Our guide quotes each court's own rule word for word and links to the official source.

Once you know the format, order the set. This is Tabzoola's exhibit set, Exhibit 1 through 25, collated in order and 3-hole punched, with clear Mylar on every tab.

Twenty-five sets are $22.99 a set, setup included, and any range prints the same way: A to Z, 26 to 50, or a party prefix like PX-1.

Click "Order this set", change any tab, and the price updates instantly.

You get a free PDF proof before anything prints. Paper sets ship in about 5 business days, or 3 with rush.
