Telecommunications Exhibits in California

What goes wrong with telecommunications exhibits, and how it is handled

• What goes wrongSpreadsheets and call recordings have no pages to stamp, but they still need a place in the exhibit sequence.

  How ExhibitPrep handles itA slipsheet holds the place of a Word, Excel, PowerPoint, audio or video file in the sequence: a placeholder page that names the original file, so the separate file can be matched to it.

• What goes wrongCall logs run across many files, each needing its own label.

  How ExhibitPrep handles itBatch stamping applies sequential labels across the whole set — 1, 2, 3 or A, B, C — from the starting value you choose, in the document order you set.

• What goes wrongCall records, consent evidence and technical documents belong in separate sections of the binder.

  How ExhibitPrep handles itCategory slipsheets are divider pages inserted between groups of exhibits in a combined PDF, keeping your document order intact.

• What goes wrongThe text-message logs that prove the calls and texts arrive as an RSMF export from the carrier production or a collection tool.

  How ExhibitPrep handles itPhone screenshots become PDF pages like any image; an RSMF message export from a collection or review tool renders to a transcript instead — every message with its time, sender and account identifier, deleted and edited messages marked, the export's hash on the first page — and is then stamped in the same sequence as everything else.
