Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between arbitration and court exhibits?
Arbitration exhibits often follow more flexible rules than court proceedings, but professional presentation still matters. Arbitrators appreciate clear organization and consistent labeling. ExhibitPrep helps you create exhibits that meet any forum's requirements.
Can I use different prefixes for claimant vs respondent exhibits?
Yes. ExhibitPrep supports customizable prefixes like "Claimant Exhibit," "Respondent Exhibit," "C-," "R-," or any format required by your arbitration forum or agreed upon by the parties.
How do I create a hearing binder with bookmarks?
Use the combined PDF feature to merge all exhibits into a single document with an auto-generated table of contents. This creates a professional hearing binder that's easy for arbitrators to navigate.
What labeling format do AAA arbitrators prefer?
AAA arbitrations typically use sequential numbering with party identification (e.g., "Claimant Exhibit 1" or "C-1"). ExhibitPrep supports all common formats and lets you customize the prefix and numbering scheme.
Can I prepare exhibits for multiple arbitrations in one day?
Yes. The $14.99 day pass gives you 24 hours of unlimited exhibit stamping, so you can prepare exhibits for multiple arbitrations in a single session.
Is this secure for confidential commercial disputes?
Yes. ExhibitPrep processes all files locally in your browser. Your confidential documents never leave your computer or get uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy for sensitive commercial arbitrations.
