Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Bates numbering work for Minnesota exhibits?
Add sequential Bates numbers to every page of your exhibits for discovery compliance and evidence tracking. Minn. R. Civ. P. 26.01 governs exhibit disclosure in Minnesota 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 Minnesota e-filing requirements?
Yes. Minnesota courts file exhibits through MNCIS (files capped at 25 MB). ExhibitPrep exports PDFs sized and formatted to match MNCIS's requirements automatically.
What Minnesota exhibit rule should attorneys know before using Bates numbering?
Exhibit exchange deadline: 30 days before trial. Pretrial disclosures at least 30 days before trial. Objections within 14 days.
How much time does Bates numbering save on Minnesota exhibits?
Manual exhibit prep runs about 5 minutes of setup plus 3 minutes per document, so a 19-exhibit set takes roughly 62 minutes by hand. Bates Numbers in ExhibitPrep cuts that same batch down to a few minutes total.
