Full Text of Rule 11.110
Plain-English Summary
There is no single statewide method for getting juvenile exhibits in front of the court. Each trial court builds its own, and the rule requires it to be written down, either in a Supplementary Local Rule or in a Presiding Judge Order. The point is that a party can find the method before the hearing rather than discover it at the hearing. All exhibits offered in juvenile cases move through whatever process the court establishes.
If the local process routes exhibits through electronic filing, further requirements attach. The court keeps an exhibit log for each hearing or trial listing every exhibit offered and whether or not it was received, and that log is maintained in the record of the case. Each electronically filed exhibit must meet the format requirements in UTCR 21.040. The filer puts the party role, the hearing or trial date, and the exhibit number or numbers in the comment field.
The rule also offers a shortcut on document contents. It points to the requirement in UTCR 21.040(4) that certain information be contained in the document filed, and lets a filer satisfy it with a cover page carrying that information. The same cover page can serve a single exhibit or a group of exhibits, if they are filed together.
Timing is tight. Exhibits are electronically filed on the day of the hearing or trial, or by the end of the next judicial day. Plan the filing as part of the hearing rather than as cleanup afterward.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I submit exhibits in an Oregon juvenile case?
Through the process that court has established by Supplementary Local Rule or Presiding Judge Order. The rule requires every trial court to set one, so check the local rules for the judicial district before the hearing.
When do electronically filed juvenile exhibits have to be filed?
On the day of the hearing or trial, or by the end of the next judicial day. That is the outer limit under the rule when the court requires counsel to submit exhibits through electronic filing.
What goes in the comment field when I eFile a juvenile exhibit?
The party role, the hearing or trial date, and the exhibit number or numbers. Those details let the court match a filed PDF to the right moment in the record.
Does the court keep a list of the exhibits offered?
Yes, when exhibits come in through electronic filing. The court maintains an exhibit log for each hearing or trial that lists each exhibit offered and whether or not it was received, and the log is maintained in the record of the case.
Can I use a cover page rather than putting the required information on each exhibit?
Yes. The rule lets a party comply with the information requirement it references in UTCR 21.040(4) by including a cover page that provides the required information with each electronic filing of an exhibit, or of a group of exhibits filed together.
