The AI checks your answers before you download

12 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Case Number Consistency Across Pages

This check verifies that the 'CASE NUMBER' field is identical on both page 1 and page 2 of the form. Case number consistency is critical to ensure that all pages of the document are correctly associated with the same legal case. A mismatch could lead to filing errors or the rejection of the document by the court clerk.

Defendant Name Consistency Across Pages

This validation ensures that the 'DEFENDANT' name entered on page 1 matches the 'DEFENDANT' name on page 2. Consistent identification of the defendant is fundamental for legal document integrity. Discrepancies could create ambiguity and legal challenges regarding the document's applicability.

Mandatory Court County

This check confirms that the 'COUNTY OF' field for the Superior Court is not empty. This information is essential for routing the document to the correct jurisdiction and courthouse. Failure to provide the county would make it impossible to file the document correctly.

Proceeding Stage Selection

Validates that one of the proceeding stage options, 'Pretrial' or 'Trial', has been selected at the top of the form. This selection provides context for the list of exhibits and is a required piece of information for court records. The form is incomplete if neither is chosen.

Exhibit Row Integrity

For each row in the exhibit list, this check ensures that if any one field ('Exhibit No.', 'Description', or 'Outcome') is filled, then all three fields for that row must be completed. This prevents incomplete entries, such as listing an exhibit number without a description or an outcome. An incomplete row is ambiguous and not useful for the court record.

Exclusive Exhibit Outcome

This validation confirms that for each listed exhibit, exactly one outcome ('Admitted', 'Refused', 'Lodged', or 'Withdrawn') is selected. An exhibit cannot have multiple statuses simultaneously. This check prevents contradictory or ambiguous data entry, ensuring clarity in the official record of evidence.

Common Mistakes in Completing CR-602

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Inconsistent Case Information Across Pages
Attorneys or their staff often fill out the 'DEFENDANT' and 'CASE NUMBER' fields on page 1 but forget to fill them out on page 2, or they enter slightly different information. This happens due to oversight when handling multi-page documents. Inconsistent data can lead to filing errors, confusion in the clerk's office, and potential delays as the pages may be misidentified or separated.
Vague or Ambiguous Exhibit Descriptions
Users frequently enter overly brief descriptions like 'Photo,' 'Document,' or 'Audio file' in the 'Description' column. This lack of specificity makes it difficult for the court, opposing counsel, and appellate reviewers to understand what the exhibit actually is. To avoid this, provide a concise but clear description, such as 'Photo of front door of 123 Main St.' or 'Bank statement for Jane Doe, March 2023.' This ensures the record is unambiguous.
Forgetting to Select an Exhibit's Outcome
An exhibit is often listed with its number and description, but the user forgets to check one of the four outcome boxes: 'Admitted,' 'Refused,' 'Lodged,' or 'Withdrawn.' This omission leaves the record incomplete and requires manual correction later, potentially during a high-pressure trial setting. Always double-check that every listed exhibit has a corresponding outcome selected to maintain an accurate record of proceedings.
Missing Signature or Date on Page 2
Submitting the form without the attorney's signature and the date is a critical error that can invalidate the entire document. This often happens when the filer is in a hurry and overlooks the signature block on the final page. An unsigned form will be rejected by the court clerk, causing filing delays and requiring the attorney to re-submit the document correctly.
Failing to Identify the Represented Party
On page 2, next to the signature line, there is a field to identify which party the attorney represents (e.g., 'Defendant' or 'People'). This field is frequently left blank. This omission creates ambiguity, as the court clerk may not immediately know which side is submitting the exhibit list, potentially leading to misfiling. Always specify the party you represent to ensure clarity.
Incorrect or Incomplete Court Address
Users may enter the wrong county, an incorrect branch name, or an incomplete court address in the header section. This can occur when an attorney practices in multiple jurisdictions and fills in the information from memory. An incorrect court address can cause the document to be misrouted or rejected, delaying its entry into the official case file. Always verify the exact court name and address before submission.
Omitting the Pretrial/Trial Selection
The form includes a checkbox or radio button list at the top to indicate whether the exhibits are for a 'Pretrial' hearing or the 'Trial' itself. Filers often overlook this selection. This information is crucial for context, as the status and relevance of exhibits can differ between pretrial motions and the main trial. Failing to make this selection creates an incomplete record for the court.
Improper Handling of Attachments
When more space is needed, users may check the box on page 2 but fail to attach the continuation sheet, or they attach a sheet without the required title 'CR-602, List of Exhibits.' This can lead to the attached information being lost or disregarded. To avoid this, ensure any attached pages are clearly labeled as instructed on the form and securely fastened to the main document.
Illegible Handwritten Entries
When a fillable PDF is not used, the form is often printed and completed by hand, resulting in illegible entries for exhibit numbers, descriptions, and names. This creates significant problems for court clerks who must manually enter the data and can lead to critical errors in the official court record. To prevent this, always type directly into the form if possible. If the form is a non-fillable PDF, tools like Instafill.ai can convert it into a fillable version to ensure all entries are clear and legible.
Inconsistent Exhibit Numbering
Users sometimes fail to follow a consistent and sequential numbering or lettering scheme for exhibits (e.g., mixing numbers and letters like '1, 2, A, 4'). This can also include skipping numbers or duplicating them, which creates confusion for the judge, jury, and opposing counsel when referencing evidence. It is essential to establish a clear, sequential system (e.g., 1, 2, 3... for one party; A, B, C... for another) and stick to it throughout the trial.

CR-602 has a Form Complexity Index of 58 out of 100, in the moderate tier: 135 fillable fields across 2 pages. Instafill.ai's AI fills it in under a minute, with every field there for you to review before you download.
What is the purpose of Form CR-602?
Form CR-602, the Capital Case Attorney List of Exhibits, is a mandatory form used in California to list and track the status of all exhibits offered by an attorney in a criminal case where the death penalty may be imposed.
Who needs to fill out this form?
This form must be completed by the attorney for either the prosecution or the defense who is offering exhibits during a capital case. Each party's attorney is responsible for their own list of exhibits.
Is this form required for all criminal cases?
No, this form is specifically for capital cases where the death penalty is a potential outcome. For other criminal cases, you would typically use a different form, such as CR-125.
What does it mean for an exhibit to be 'Lodged'?
An exhibit is 'Lodged' when it is given to the court for review but has not yet been officially accepted into evidence. This allows the judge to examine the item before ruling on its admissibility.
What is the difference between an exhibit being 'Refused' and 'Withdrawn'?
An exhibit is 'Refused' if the judge denies its admission into evidence after it was offered. An exhibit is 'Withdrawn' if the attorney who offered it decides to take it back before the judge makes a ruling.
What should I do if I have more exhibits than will fit on the form?
If you run out of space, check the box on page 2 that says 'Check here if you need more space.' You can then attach additional pages, making sure to title them 'CR-602, List of Exhibits' and include the case information.
How detailed does the exhibit 'Description' need to be?
The description should be brief yet specific enough to clearly identify the exhibit for the court record. For example, 'Security footage from 123 Main St, May 1, 2023' is better than just 'Video'.
When do I indicate if the list is for 'Pretrial' or 'Trial'?
At the top of page 1, there are checkboxes to indicate whether the exhibits listed are being offered during the pretrial phase or the trial itself. You should select the appropriate option for the current proceedings.
Can AI help me fill out this form to save time?
