Bates Numbering for Indiana
Indiana courts require exhibits to follow Trial Rule 26 (2026 Amendments). 2026 amendments (effective January 1, 2026) explicitly BAN general objections - all objections must be specific. Parties must identify responsive materials not being produced. Sequential Bates numbers give every page a unique, citable identifier, which matters anywhere exhibits get referenced by page during Indiana proceedings. ExhibitPrep applies the prefix and count automatically as you stamp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Bates numbering work for Indiana exhibits?
Add sequential Bates numbers to every page of your exhibits for discovery compliance and evidence tracking. Trial Rule 26 (2026 Amendments) governs exhibit disclosure in Indiana courts, and ExhibitPrep's labels and formatting are built to match it. Upload your documents, apply the feature, and download court-ready exhibits.
Is Bates numbering compliant with Indiana e-filing requirements?
Yes. Indiana courts file exhibits through IEFS via Odyssey (files capped at 25 MB). ExhibitPrep exports PDFs sized and formatted to match IEFS via Odyssey's requirements automatically.
What Indiana exhibit rule should attorneys know before using Bates numbering?
Exhibit exchange deadline: Per Trial Rule 26. 30(B)(6) depositions require good faith meet-and-confer 15 days before deposition. Specific objections required - no boilerplate.
How much time does Bates numbering save on Indiana exhibits?
Manual exhibit prep runs about 5 minutes of setup plus 3 minutes per document, so a 13-exhibit set takes roughly 44 minutes by hand. Bates Numbers in ExhibitPrep cuts that same batch down to a few minutes total.
