Article 49 Exhibits

Any document or thing admitted in evidence shall be made an exhibit and marked sequentially with either a number or a letter.

The clerk of the court shall maintain a list of exhibits.

Each exhibit, or a copy certified by the clerk of the court as a true copy, shall be retained with the record of proceedings, unless in the opinion of the judge advocate having regard to the nature of the exhibit or for other good reason it is not expedient to retain the exhibit, or a copy, with the record.

Where an exhibit is not retained with the record of proceedings, the judge advocate shall ensure that proper steps are taken for its safe custody.
