Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Bates numbering work for Washington exhibits?
Add sequential Bates numbers to every page of your exhibits for discovery compliance and evidence tracking. King County LCR 4(j) governs exhibit disclosure in Washington 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 Washington e-filing requirements?
Yes. Washington courts file exhibits through County systems (files capped at 25 MB (varies)). ExhibitPrep exports PDFs sized and formatted to match County systems's requirements automatically.
What Washington exhibit rule should attorneys know before using Bates numbering?
Exhibit exchange deadline: 21 days (King County). Joint Statement of Evidence due 5 judicial days before trial. Must note party agreement on authenticity and admissibility.
How much time does Bates numbering save on Washington exhibits?
Manual exhibit prep runs about 5 minutes of setup plus 3 minutes per document, so a 6-exhibit set takes roughly 23 minutes by hand. Bates Numbers in ExhibitPrep cuts that same batch down to a few minutes total.
