• IMPORTANT NOTICE: The parties should bring paper copies of all documents that are proposed exhibits to the evidentiary hearing -- one copy for the judge, one copy for each party, and one copy for any witness who may be asked to review the document. This is true even if the proposed exhibits were previously filed with the Commission. This will allow the judge and the parties to confirm at the evidentiary hearing the exact documents that will comprise the exhibit volume of the record.
