How many exhibits is normal?

Key answer

30-40 exhibits is routine; there is no hard limit. The community advises grouping: one exhibit per criterion with sub-items (8.1, 8.2...) instead of a hundred standalone files, ordered to follow the criteria. A single exhibit can be reused across the petition by referencing its number.

The answers below are translated from the original Russian - the language of the community chats.

  • I did it this way: judging is exhibit 8, and then each additional confirmation as subsections 8.1, 8.2, and so on. Otherwise, the eye gets confused with the numbering.

  • Of course, it's normal: exhibits can be arranged as convenient. I had the same attachments used in the petition 10-15 times with references to the number.

  • If one letter covers two criteria, I would duplicate it in both exhibit sections and highlight the relevant parts in each.

  • It's sufficient to attach the first page and the pages important for your case, not the entire bulky document. Highlight quotes you refer to and keep the link to the electronic source without editing the content. Pagination is mandatory - it simplifies the officer's search.
