What term describes the documents attached to a motion as evidence?

• A. Affidavits
• B. Exhibits
• C. Notices
• D. Motions

Answer: (B)

Exhibits are the documents attached to a motion that serve as evidence. In New York practice, when you file a motion, you submit supporting papers such as affidavits or sworn statements and you attach the actual documents you rely on to prove your facts. Those attached documents are called exhibits, and they’re typically labeled and referenced in your briefing so the court can verify what you’re relying on. Affidavits are a type of supporting paper—sworn statements from witnesses or parties—that can accompany the motion and may cite specific exhibits, but the term for the attachments themselves is exhibits. Notices are separate procedural documents that inform about the motion, and motions are the requests for relief itself.
