Frequently Asked Questions
How should I label telecommunications exhibits in California?
Use Numbers (1, 2, 3...) for plaintiff exhibits and Letters (A, B, C...) for defense exhibits, per CRC 3.1110. Most California counties color-code exhibit stickers: yellow for plaintiffs and petitioners, blue for defendants and respondents. ExhibitPrep's Telecommunications templates apply the right prefix automatically, so you're not re-deriving the local convention on every filing.
When do I have to exchange telecommunications exhibits in California?
California sets the exhibit exchange window at 30 days before trial (varies by county) under CRC 3.1110, though the exact date can shift with your assigned judge's scheduling order. Confirm the deadline in your case's pretrial order before you start stamping, then batch-process the full telecommunications production in one ExhibitPrep session once it's locked in.
What e-filing system handles telecommunications exhibits in California?
California runs electronic filing through County-specific (OneFile LA, File & Serve SD), which caps individual uploads at 25 MB per document. Export each exhibit as a text-searchable PDF, and split any long call records into separate files before uploading so a single scanned record doesn't blow past the cap.
What exhibits come up most in a California telecommunications case?
Telecommunications matters in California typically turn on call records, esi/electronic discovery, contracts & agreements, plus whatever case-specific records the dispute calls for. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) applies. Stamp them all inside ExhibitPrep using the matching plaintiff or defense template, so every exhibit in the production carries a consistent, court-compliant mark before it goes to opposing counsel.
Can I stamp a large telecommunications production for California courts?
Yes. The Day Pass ($14.99) gives you unlimited stamping for 24 hours, which covers hundreds of exhibits in a single telecommunications case. Processing runs entirely in your browser, so your California case files never leave your computer. That matters here because County-specific (OneFile LA, File & Serve SD)'s 25 MB per document cap often forces a large production into dozens of separate uploads.
