Add sequential Bates numbers to every page of your exhibits for discovery compliance and evidence tracking. Md.

Is Bates numbering compliant with Maryland e-filing requirements?
Yes. Maryland courts file exhibits through MDEC (files capped at 50 MB). ExhibitPrep exports PDFs sized and formatted to match MDEC's requirements automatically.

Exhibit exchange deadline: 30 days before trial. Pretrial submissions due per scheduling order, typically 30 days before trial.
