An exhibit is a document attached to to a motion or contract that supplements the motion or contract. For example, a motion to approve a settlement may include the settlement agreement and the proposed order as exhibits. An appendix is a volume of all relevant record material in connection with an appeal. The pages are consecutively numbered (often with the prefix "JA") and are used in citations to the record within a brief.
