The results of the conference shall be reduced to writing by the Arbitrator in the presence of the Parties, and this writing shall thereafter constitute part of the record.(b) The Parties may be ordered to exchange, at the prehearing conference, or at some other time in advance of the hearing, all exhibits each Party intends to offer at the hearing (other than exhibits exclusively used for impeachment or rebuttal); and may be ordered to index, offer and file some or all of the exhibits in advance of the hearing. The Party offering an exhibit at the hearing shall provide sufficient copies so that each Party, the Arbitrator and the witness have a copy.Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 1, § 1380
