Keep your materials organized. Use a binder or binders. Keep your binder up-to-date and tabbed so that you can locate important documents in a single moment. Put like with like. Keep in chronological order - new documents in front of older documents. Have everything at your fingertips. A well organized litigant is a smart litigant. It is truly a moment when during a hearing the judge asks the attorney for the other side for a document and you promptly offer up the document while attorney is unable to locate his own document.
