In a civil case, do both Plaintiff and Defendant have the same exhibit lettering?
<p>For instance, if the Plaintiff files a complaint and references "Exhibit A" and the Defendant files an answer denying the allegations of the complaint and also wants to reference some document/evidence, does the Defendant start labeling their documents with "Exhibit A" or do they start where the Plaintiff left off (i.e. "Exhibit B")?</p>

<p>Labeling is document-scoped. Each will start labeling their exhibits with "A".</p>

<p>If anyone needs to refer to exhibits from another document they will say "Document XXX, Exhibit A".</p>
