adj. documents or objects presented during a trial before there has been testimony
which confirms their authenticity and/or relevancy. Each item is given an exhibit
identification letter or number and thus is marked for identification. The marked
exhibits are actually introduced into evidence (made part of the official record)
upon request of the lawyer offering the evidence and approval by the judge or by
stipulation of both attorneys. Occasionally an exhibit marked for identification
is rejected as evidence due to the judge agreeing (sustaining) with an opposing
lawyer's objection such as for lack of relevancy or failure to show it is genuine
or best evidence.
See also best evidence rule evidence exhibit lay a foundation objection
