Link Bates Document For Free

The Board strongly encourages briefs and accompanying exhibits to be sequentially numbered, also known as Bates Numbering. Bates Numbering can either be done within the PDF itself starting at the first page of the document or it can be handwritten at the bottom right hand corner of the page.

But, consistent with The Bluebook, the first citation should make it very clear what is being referenced, such as (Bates Jones000001) or (Bates d123-002), and subsequent consecutive cites should follow the usual practice of Id. followed by the page number, such as (Id. 000017) or (Id. -017).

You cannot edit Bates page numbering after you've added it to a document. You can, however, delete Bates numbering and apply a different Bates numbering formula.

Bates numbering is a method of sequentially numbering pages with a reference identifier to make them easier to locate and reference. This could be as simple as sequential numbers like ?0001? and ?0002,? or it may include alphanumeric strings (such as ?ABC_0001? and ?ABC_0002?).

5 simple steps to add bates to file names on Windows: Select the Destination folder for output PDF files. Click File name inlay. Select Replace file names with starting and ending bates number option. In Bates numbers inlay set the numbers you need (the number of digits, the position on the page, prefix, suffix, etc.)

The Bates prefix is specified with at least one letter and up to six letters and sequential numbering with seven digits, starting 0000001, unless otherwise instructed at or prior to time of job commencement. The Lexbe eDiscovery Platform (LEP) does not allow Bates Stamping without a prefix.

You might be aware that the custom is to Bates stamp discovery documents using six digits including leading zeros.
