The HEADER appears on the same level
as the page number, NOT on the first numbered text line.
The header identifies the current witness
and the type of examination in progress.
Each header continues until the next type of
examination begins. In this example, the next expected examination would be
Lim - Cross.
Long stretches of colloquy while a witness remains in limbo on the stand
do not affect the header. However, the header should be left BLANK on
pages BETWEEN witnesses, when a
witness is temporarily EXCUSED from the
stand, or, in jury trials, when the JURY IS
NOT PRESENT.
