Exhibits through
Explanation:
証 means "exhibit" and 乃至 corresponds to "through."
甲第20号証乃至甲第25号証 would be "Kou Exhibits No. 20 through No. 25 (alternatively, Kou Exhibit No. 20 to No. 25 inclusive)."

甲, which is likely to be a plaintiff in the context, is sometimes translated as A (in that case 乙, a defendant, as B). That is fine. However, in Japan when people use roman alphabet in a discussion on court proceedings, they would use letters X for the plaintiff and Y for the defendant. Letters X, Y, Z are often seen in a law review, journal, etc. to refer to parties to a case.

(Certificate No.20) or (certificate No. 25)


Explanation:
I think it must be 第20号証 乃至 甲第25号証. And 乃至 is ないし - "or" or "from... to" (depending on your context).

agree  Kosoto (X): I agree with you; however, 証 in this case is an evidence, not a certificate. So, 甲第xx号証 means the evidence No. xx presented by Kou (= Plaintiff).

  -> You must be right regarding 証; it's just that not having enough context I assumed it might mean "certificate" (because it can mean "certificate").

Reference: exhibit or evidence?

Reference information:
I've confirmed the definitions of both words in Black's Law Dictionary:

Exhibit is defined as "1. A doument, record, or other tangible object formally introduced as evidence in court", and evidence is defined as "3. The collective mass of things, esp. testimony and exhibits, presented before a tribunal in a given dispute" etc.

Based on the above, taking back my previous comment, I think exhibit is appropriate for this case since 証 refers to a particular thing. Sorry for any confusion.

One related question:

Does 甲証 or 乙証 refer to only tangible evidence, or include testimonial evidence?

Just for reference,

it seems that 甲証 or 乙証 refers to only tangible evidence and that there is no such numbering system for testimonial evidence.
