It covers case information and document management, including witness and exhibit lists, medical records, proof charts, and exhibit indexes. The checklist details witness preparation steps such as subpoenas, expert filings, and coordination. It also outlines legal preparation through pretrial motions, discovery responses, notices, jury charges, and legal research. Finally, it provides logistics for trial supply boxes, courtroom technology confirmation, notebooks and binders, team walkthroughs, and final operational checks.",{"@graph":14,"@context":66},[15,34,49],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/","Template",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/forms/","Forms",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/trial-prep-check-list-trial/573714/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"author":36,"headline":10,"publisher":39,"fileFormat":42,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":43,"datePublished":43,"encodingFormat":42,"isAccessibleForFree":44,"interactionStatistic":45},"DigitalDocument",{"name":37,"@type":38},"aboduw","Person",{"url":19,"name":40,"@type":41},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-14",true,{"@type":46,"interactionType":47,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":48},"ViewAction",{"@type":50,"mainEntity":51},"FAQPage",[52,58,62],{"name":53,"@type":54,"acceptedAnswer":55},"What documents and evidence should be handled 4 weeks before trial?","Question",{"text":56,"@type":57},"File witness and exhibit lists with the court, copy and box exhibits, receive and tabulate medical records and bills, and ensure exhibits are served on opposing counsel.
