Trial prep is more than just gathering evidence—it’s about streamlining every piece of information so your legal team can act with clarity and confidence in the courtroom. When deadlines are tight and pressure is high, disorganized documents can derail your strategy. That’s why successful litigation teams rely on structured, methodical document prep to stay on track.
At Palm Beach Copy Service, we’ve supported South Florida’s legal community with expert litigation support for over 29 years. Here’s how top law firms prepare their case materials—and how our services can help you do the same.
Start with a Master Index System
An effective trial binder starts with a clear, comprehensive index. This is your map to everything—pleadings, exhibits, witness lists, deposition transcripts, and expert reports.
Best Practice:
- Create a master index that mirrors your case outline.
- Use consistent naming conventions and document numbers.
- Consider a digital version with hyperlinks for fast access in court.
At Palm Beach Copy, we can print your entire binder set with matching indexes, so every member of your team has an identical reference—no guesswork, no hunting for page numbers.
Use Color-Coded Tabs to Visually Organize
When time is of the essence, visual cues save the day. Color-coded tabs allow attorneys and support staff to flip instantly to the right section.
Effective tab categories include:
- Plaintiff and Defense Exhibits (separate colors)
- Chronological Evidence
- Witness Packets
- Motions and Orders
- Cross-Examination Materials
We stock a wide range of tab styles and colors at Palm Beach Copy and can help you customize a tabbing system tailored to your case workflow.
Digitize Everything (But Don’t Rely on Just Digital)
Even in a digital age, printed documents remain king in the courtroom—but a searchable archive is just as critical behind the scenes.
Why scanning matters:
- Reduces risk of lost or damaged originals
- Enables quick keyword searches in Summation, Adobe Acrobat, or Relativity
- Simplifies collaboration between remote team members
Our document scanning service can convert boxes of case files into indexed PDFs or Summation load files. Whether you need OCR, Bates labeling, or media duplication, we ensure your digital files are trial-ready.
Preparing Impressive Trial Exhibits
Judges and juries don’t just hear cases—they see them. A poorly printed exhibit or unreadable image can kill your momentum. That’s why exhibit quality should never be left to chance.
We offer:
- Full-color or black and white trial exhibits
- Foam board or laminated mounting
- Odd-size or oversized prints
- Custom graphic design for charts, timelines, and callouts
Our in-house design team at Palm Beach Copy Service knows how to make evidence impactful. We transform complex visuals into clear, persuasive exhibits that reinforce your narrative.
