Hi,
I have a trial coming up in Sept 2016 and I am looking for help to prepare as I will be representing myself. My ex-wife will have a lawyer so I need all the help I can get.
I have the following questions that I seek clarification on.
Book of Documents: A bound book containing all of the documents that are to be presented as evidence at trial. Copies are made for the opposing parties and the court.
What can or cannot go into the Book of Documents? I have over a hundred emails I want introduced as evidence, can I put them into the Book of Documents?
Can the other side disagree to something going in the Book of Documents?
Once my documents are in the Book of Documents it is my understanding I then ask the court to have them enter as exhibits and this is how they become enter as evidence at trial. Is this correct?
If I want a witness, for example a doctor, to bring a medical file with them to court, do I need to have the witness provide it to the other side in advance, and if so how in advance?
If I plan to testify myself how do the questions I want asked get ask, as I do not have a lawyer to ask me them?
Any other advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
