Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Bates numbering work for New York exhibits?
Add sequential Bates numbers to every page of your exhibits for discovery compliance and evidence tracking. 22 NYCRR 202.34 governs exhibit disclosure in New York 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 New York e-filing requirements?
Yes. New York courts file exhibits through NYSCEF (files capped at 100 MB). ExhibitPrep exports PDFs sized and formatted to match NYSCEF's requirements automatically.
What New York exhibit rule should attorneys know before using Bates numbering?
Exhibit exchange deadline: 14-21 days before trial. Trial exhibits submitted at least 14 days before trial. Commercial Division has stricter requirements.
How much time does Bates numbering save on New York exhibits?
Manual exhibit prep runs about 5 minutes of setup plus 3 minutes per document, so a 16-exhibit set takes roughly 53 minutes by hand. Bates Numbers in ExhibitPrep cuts that same batch down to a few minutes total.
