Any recommendations for software that organizes and labels exhibits? When I’m preparing motions with a large number of exhibits, I usually have to use a spreadsheet with Bates numbers or links to our case management software, then send detailed instructions to my assistant with the order and numbering, who then puts everything together with coversheets in Adobe. I feel like there has to be a more efficient way do things.

For organizing, I’ll often create rename instructions in excel and then paste into command window.

I then sticker them with https://exhibitsticker.com/ so they look consistent. It was worth the license cost for one seat.

At the small firm I’m at, an associate would either drop the files in a temporary folder in iManage, renaming them by “Exhibit..:”, or they would have me pull the files. Then, I would assemble the files/documents in exhibit number/letter or before Bates-stamping them using oAdobe Acrobat.

I work in a firm that is known for litigation defense. I’ve been developing my own plaintiffs practice as well.
