scheduled to testify. Each party shall disclose to the other party all demonstratives 

that such party will use during the cross examination of a witness or expert witness 

just prior to the beginning of that witness’s or expert’s cross examination so that 

the other party may have sufficient time to review them and raise objections before 

the examination begins. Excerpts, call-outs, blow-ups, or highlighting of admitted 

exhibits, without more, are exempt from exchange. After demonstratives have 

been used during trial, the parties may “lodge” them in the case docket in order for 

them to become part of the official record of the case. They will not be admitted 

as exhibits. The disclosure of demonstratives that the parties plan to use in the 

opening statement shall be governed by a separate procedure outlined in the Joint 

Pretrial Statement.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
