Multi-Party Case Prep: 4 Steps

1

Upload Documents by Party

Organize your documents by party before uploading. This makes template selection easier.

Pro tip: Create separate sessions for each party's exhibit set.

2

Select Party-Specific Template

Choose from Third-Party Defendant, Cross-Claimant, Intervenor, Counter-Claimant, or Custom Party templates.

Pro tip: Use Custom Party for unusual designations like "Garnishee."

3

Apply and Preview Labels

Apply stamps to all documents with one click. Preview each to verify the party designation appears correctly.

Pro tip: Check stamp positioning to avoid covering party signatures.

4

Download Organized Sets

Download each party's exhibits separately, or create a combined binder with sections for each party.

Pro tip: Use combined PDF for trial binders—table of contents shows party attribution.

Questions About Multi-Party Exhibits

How do I distinguish exhibits from multiple parties?

Use party-specific prefixes: "Third-Party Defendant's Exhibit 1," "Cross-Claimant's Exhibit A," "Intervenor's Exhibit 1." ExhibitPrep provides templates for common multi-party designations, plus a Custom Party template for unique situations.

What if my party designation isn't in the template list?

Use the Custom Party Exhibit template. Enter any designation—"Appellant," "Garnishee," "Real Party in Interest"—and ExhibitPrep formats it correctly. Perfect for appellate courts, administrative proceedings, or unusual procedural postures.

How do I organize exhibits for a case with cross-claims?

Create separate exhibit sets for the main case and each cross-claim. Use Cross-Claimant and Cross-Defendant templates to clearly attribute documents. This prevents confusion when co-defendants have claims against each other.

What about impleader cases with third-party defendants?

Use the Third-Party Defendant template when a defendant brings in additional parties under FRCP Rule 14. The template clearly identifies exhibits as belonging to the third-party action, separate from the main case.

How should intervenors label their exhibits?

Use the Intervenor's Exhibit template for parties who intervene under FRCP Rule 24. Common in class actions, public interest litigation, and regulatory proceedings. Intervenor exhibits are numbered separately from original parties.

Can I use joint exhibits in multi-party cases?

Yes. Use the Joint Exhibit template for documents all parties stipulate to. This is especially useful in complex litigation to reduce exhibit count and streamline trial presentation when parties agree on foundational documents.

Every Party, Organized

Complex cases don't need complex exhibit prep. Upload your documents and see the difference.
