Asked in VA May 18, 2022 ,  0 answers
I am representing myself in a trial in General District court. I have emails and text messages that I would like to admit. What is the best way to present these evidence so that it is admittable? Can I just print them out and show them to the judge?

Depends, as to whether your case is in the Small Claims section of the

court or in regular general district court. If the latter, you'll have to file

formal paperwork before the trial date (Bill of Particulars if plaintiff or Answer/Grounds of Defense if defendant) which probably should reference

at least some of these emails and text messages and copies of which could then be attached to this formal paperwork when its filed with the clerk's office by the deadline as ordered by the court.

However, if your case is in Small Claims, then you should be able to

merely print your evidence out and bring copies of it along to court on the day set for

trial and attempt to have it admitted as evidence whenever it's your turn as directed by the court to present your side of the case.
