Why use the Bates Labeling system?
The Bates numbering system helps litigators organize, track, and recall scanned documents in a case, page by page. The Bates identifiers often have an alphabetic prefix that represents some information such as the scanned document source. The last part of the Bates identifier is a constant number of digits enabling the scanned pages to be sequentially numbered, at least within a prefixed set. Extra pages can then be inserted into the Bates numbering system by using a suffix.
