  Exhibit
=======

 An exhibit is a document formally put before a court, carrying a reference number that stays fixed for the life of the proceedings.

The number is the point. Once a document is EX-041, every skeleton argument, witness statement and transcript refers to it that way, and renumbering mid-case creates the kind of confusion that costs a hearing.

Exhibit numbering is why case software has to treat numbering as data rather than presentation. An export that renumbers exhibits to suit its own layout is worse than useless.
