    (1)  Marked in Advance of Trial Date. In all contested matters, the
parties shall cause all exhibits, except such exhibits as are intended for
impeachment purposes, to be marked for identification by the clerk in advance
of the trial date; provided that a party may present exhibits for marking on
the day of trial if the number of exhibits to be marked is ten (10) or less and
the exhibits are provided for marking at least one (1) hour before the start of
the trial. An exhibit list, without exhibit numbers filled in, shall be given

maps or drawings, shall be prepared and presented to opposing counsel and to
the judge at such time as the exhibits are offered into evidence; provided
that, with the permission of the other party, the judge's courtesy copies may
be provided before or at the commencement of the trial.

    (3)  Withdrawal of Exhibits. After final judgment, if the time for appeal
has elapsed and no appeal has been taken, the court, upon application of any
party or other person entitled to the possession of one or more exhibits, may
in its discretion order the withdrawal of such exhibit or exhibits and delivery
thereof to such party or other person.

    (4)  Return or Destruction of Exhibits. When judgment in a civil case
shall become final after an appeal or upon judgment of dismissal, or upon
filing a satisfaction of judgment, the clerk, on stipulation of the parties,
shall  return all exhibits and unopened depositions or destroy them. The court
shall enter an order accordingly.

    (5)  Records in Administrative Appeals. Records of proceedings and
exhibits filed as the record in an appeal of any administrative hearing shall
be presumed to be exhibits to the file in the superior court. Any video
conference tapes or audio tapes shall have a transcript filed in addition to
