Hearing Officers Respect Organized Evidence
Administrative Law Judges and hearing officers review dozens of cases. When your exhibits are clearly labeled, well-organized, and professionally presented, it shows you take your case seriously. Disorganized evidence often gets overlooked or misunderstood. Give your case the best chance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's different about administrative vs court exhibits?
Administrative hearings are generally less formal than court proceedings, but organized exhibits still help your case. Hearing officers and ALJs appreciate clear presentation. The main differences are often shorter page limits and faster deadlines.
Can I use this for unemployment appeals?
Yes. ExhibitPrep is ideal for unemployment appeal hearings. Upload termination documentation, performance records, policy documents, and correspondence, then stamp them with professional exhibit labels for your hearing.
Do administrative agencies accept combined PDF exhibits?
Most administrative agencies accept electronic filings and combined PDFs. Check your specific agency's requirements, but organized PDF packets with tables of contents are generally welcomed by hearing officers.
I'm representing myself—is this easy to use?
Yes. ExhibitPrep is designed to be simple enough for self-represented parties. Upload your documents, drag them into order, and the tool handles the rest. No legal training or technical expertise required.
Can attorneys use this for multiple cases?
Absolutely. The $14.99 day pass gives you 24 hours of unlimited stamping. Prepare exhibits for multiple EEOC charges, unemployment appeals, or workers' comp hearings in a single session.
What labeling format do ALJs prefer?
Most Administrative Law Judges prefer simple sequential numbering (Exhibit 1, 2, 3 or Exhibit A, B, C). Some may request party prefixes (Claimant Exhibit 1). ExhibitPrep supports all common formats.
Should I file exhibits before or at the hearing?
Most agencies require pre-hearing exhibit submissions, typically 5-14 days before the hearing. Check your specific agency's rules. Filing early gives the hearing officer time to review and strengthens your preparation.
Can I add exhibits during the hearing?
Some agencies allow exhibits to be introduced at the hearing, but many strongly prefer or require pre-filing. Surprise exhibits may be excluded or given less weight. Prepare thoroughly before the hearing when possible.
Should I bring printed or digital exhibits?
Bring both when possible. Many hearings are now virtual and accept electronic exhibits, but having printed copies as backup is wise. ExhibitPrep creates PDFs perfect for both electronic filing and printing.
