AO 187: Exhibit and Witness List

AO 187, Exhibit and Witness List, is a one-page form from the U.S. Courts for a case in a United States District Court. It lists exhibits and witnesses in a table with columns for the plaintiff's and defendant's numbers, the date offered, whether each item was marked and admitted, and a description. The U.S. Courts page lists it under Other Forms, effective on July 1, 1987, and the PDF prints the edition AO 187 (Rev. 7/87).

The header has spaces for the district, the parties, the case number, the presiding judge, the plaintiff's and defendant's attorneys, the trial date or dates, the court reporter and the courtroom deputy. A footnote asks for a notation as to the location of any exhibit not held with the case file or not available because of size. The form does not say who fills it in.

This page explains the form in plain words and is not legal advice. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
