Jury Evidence Recording System (JERS)

How to Submit Electronic Exhibit Files

Electronic evidence files should be provided to the Office of the Clerk of Court on a USB drive, DVD or CD a minimum
of five (5) calendar days prior to the start of trial.

Exhibit Formatting Instructions for JERS Submission

Exhibit files can be formatted in a manner that permits them to be batch imported into the JERS system. The District
of Nevada uses the Indexed File Method. This requires counsel to submit their trial exhibits:
On a single storage device such as a CD, DVD or USB drive;
With a text delimited Index file named Exhibits.txt. The Exhibits.txt file must be called
EXACTLY that - Exhibits.txt. The Exhibits.txt file must contain the following “pipe” delimited
layout: Exhibit Number|Exhibit Description|Ex
File Name.
•
•

Do NOT use special characters for the “pipe”. On a standard keyboard, the “pipe” is
generated by pressing shift and the key above the enter key at the same time.
The text delimited Exhibits.txt must be on the same level as all exhibits (meaning exhibits
cannot be put into separate folders on the disk). There also should be no spaces between
the categories and “pipe”, no labels, no bolding, no

between lines, etc.

Requirements for Exhibit File Types

All electronic evidence should be provided using the following formats:
•
Documents and Photographs: .pdf, .jpg, .bmp, .tif, .gif
•
Video and Audio Recordings: .avi, .wmv, .mpg, .mp3, .mp4, .wma, .wav
Regarding the file size of the electronic evidence, individual files should not exceed 500MB. If possible, exhibits
approaching or exceeding this size limit should be separated into multiple files. Note, PDF documents can often be
reduced significantly in size by using tools such as Adobe's "Reduce File Size" feature. Images can be significantly
reduced in file size by lowering its resolution or dimensions, usually with minimal affect to viewing quality.

____________________________________________________________________________________________
Keep file names short and simple
We suggest simply the Exhibit number with the
proper extension for file type. A maximum of 50 characters will be allowed for the file name – anything
larger will not work.
Do NOT use parenthesis in your exhibit numbers. If you would normally call an exhibit 1(a), name it
1-a. If you have a two part exhibit name like 1.18(2), name it 1-18.2. This is the only way that JERS can read
it properly – dash to indicate first sub-part and . to indicate any additional subpart.
If you are an attorney representing a party in a multi-party case where there are more than one party per
side proceeding to trial, use the party name as the first part of the exhibit number followed by
the additional identifiers. Example: Smith-1, Smith-2.1, Jones-1, Jones-2.1, RedTrucking-A,
RedTrucking-B, BlueTrucking-A, BlueTrucking-B.1

Exhibits.txt for MAC users
#1 – Create your exhibit list in a Word document using a 3-column table. Save this
document to submit as your exhibit list to file with the Court.
ex:
EXHIBIT
A
B
C

DESCRIPTION
Aerial Map
Photo of scene
Photo of vehicle

FILENAME
Ex.A.pdf
Ex.B.pdf
Ex.C.pdf

#2 – Copy your list into another Word document. On this copy, “Click” or “Select
all” on the table. Then go to the “Table” on the tool bar. When it drops down,
select “Convert”. Click on “Table to Text”.
#3 – When you click on “Table to Text”, it will ask you how you want to separate
the text. In the “Other” section – put in a pipe (“|”).
#4 – When your table converts, it should look like this:
EXHIBIT|DESCRIPTION|FILENAME
A|Aerial Map|Ex.A.pdf
B|Photo of scene|Ex.B.pdf
C|Photo of vehicle|Ex.C.pdf
#5 – Save as “Exhibits.txt”.
#6 – Open “Exhibits.txt” in the TextEdit program and re-save (keeping the name
“Exhibits.txt”).
