Court-Ready Exhibits
Trial is tomorrow. Deadlines don't move. Get your exhibits court-ready in minutes, not hours. Professional stamps, proper formatting, ready for immediate filing or presentation.
- A court-ready exhibit carries a permanent label such as 'Plaintiff's Exhibit 1' that identifies the document and can't be accidentally removed.
- Sequential numbering without gaps (1, 2, 3 or A, B, C) helps exhibit lists and brief citations match the stamped documents; confirm any numbering rule with your court.
- Stamping 25 exhibits manually takes roughly 75 minutes at 3 minutes per document; ExhibitPrep completes the same batch in about 5 minutes.
- Stamps are permanently embedded in the PDF rather than overlaid, so they stay intact when files are uploaded to e-filing systems like CM/ECF, File & ServeXpress, and Odyssey.
- ExhibitPrep creates standard PDFs with embedded labels; the receiving court or tribunal determines acceptance under its current rules and the case order.
- A 100-exhibit trial set takes about 15 minutes with ExhibitPrep versus 5 to 8 hours of manual stamping.
- Non-obscuring stamp placement, positioned consistently so it never covers document content, is part of what makes an exhibit immediately usable at trial.
- A Day Pass provides 24 hours of unlimited stamping starting at download, useful when exhibits need to be ready the same day.
Filing deadline in 2 hours. Exhibits still need stamps...
The brief is done. Declarations are signed. But 25 exhibits sit unstamped. Manual stamping at 3 minutes each = 75 minutes of work. You don't have that time.
What Makes Exhibits Court-Ready?
Filing requirements vary by court, filing system, and case. ExhibitPrep prepares consistently formatted exhibits for you to inspect against the rules that apply.
Clear Identification
Each exhibit has a permanent label identifying it (e.g., "Plaintiff's Exhibit 1"). Labels are visible, legible, and can't be accidentally removed.
Proper Party Designation
Exhibits are marked with correct party designation matching your role in the case—Plaintiff, Defendant, Petitioner, Respondent, etc.
Sequential Numbering
Exhibits follow sequential order (1, 2, 3 or A, B, C) without gaps. This matches exhibit lists and references in briefs and arguments.
Non-Obscuring Placement
Stamps are positioned to not cover document content. Consistent placement across all exhibits creates a professional appearance.
E-Filing Compatible
PDFs meet technical requirements for electronic filing—proper format, searchable text when possible, under file size limits.
Immediate Usability
No additional preparation needed. Download and file immediately, or present at trial without further formatting.

Court-Ready Exhibit Questions
What makes an exhibit "court-ready"?
A court-ready exhibit has clear, permanent labels that identify the document (e.g., "Plaintiff's Exhibit 1"), stamps positioned to not obscure content, consistent formatting across all exhibits, and proper file format for e-filing. The exhibit should be immediately usable in court proceedings without additional preparation.
How quickly can I create court-ready exhibits?
With ExhibitPrep, a typical bundle is stamped in under two minutes. For batch processing, upload all documents at once and apply sequential labels automatically. A set of 20 exhibits typically takes 3-5 minutes total, versus 60+ minutes manually.
Can I file court-ready exhibits electronically?
ExhibitPrep creates PDFs with embedded stamps for upload through systems such as CM/ECF, File & ServeXpress, Odyssey, and state portals. Each court and portal controls file, naming, size, and formatting rules, so inspect the exact export against the current requirements before filing.
What courts accept exhibits prepared with ExhibitPrep?
ExhibitPrep creates standard PDFs with complete, embedded exhibit labels. Courts, tribunals, agencies, and individual judges control acceptance and may impose local or case-specific requirements, so review the exact files and the current governing rules before submission.
How do I ensure exhibits are ready for trial?
Trial-ready exhibits should have consistent labeling, stamps positioned in the same location on each document, party designation matching your role, and sequential numbering without gaps. ExhibitPrep automatically applies these standards when you configure your stamp template.
What if I need exhibits ready immediately?
ExhibitPrep processes documents instantly in your browser—no upload wait times, no processing queues. The Day Pass option provides 24-hour unlimited access starting when you download, great for last-minute trial prep when you need exhibits ready now.
