Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Bates numbering work for Pennsylvania exhibits?
Add sequential Bates numbers to every page of your exhibits for discovery compliance and evidence tracking. Pa.R.C.P. 212.2 governs exhibit disclosure in Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania e-filing requirements?
Yes. Pennsylvania courts file exhibits through PACFile (files capped at 50 MB Federal / Varies by county (5 MB Philadelphia)). ExhibitPrep exports PDFs sized and formatted to match PACFile's requirements automatically.
What Pennsylvania exhibit rule should attorneys know before using Bates numbering?
Exhibit exchange deadline: 60-90 days after trial notice. Plaintiff statement 60 days after trial notice. Defendant statement 90 days after notice. Amendments up to 7 days before trial.
How much time does Bates numbering save on Pennsylvania exhibits?
Manual exhibit prep runs about 5 minutes of setup plus 3 minutes per document, so a 12-exhibit set takes roughly 41 minutes by hand. Bates Numbers in ExhibitPrep cuts that same batch down to a few minutes total.
