<p>There is a little tool out there to remove heavy-duty staples. It's kind of like a teeny crowbar. Very simple and easy to use.</p>

<p>When I get that many exhibits, I just put "Email Bates stamped STP0000234.</p>
<p>I don't put any more of a description because it's too time consuming and we don't get paid anything extra for the time. Only one that makes money off the exhibits is the office for copying them.</p>

<p>Just as a suggestion, I report in CA. If I get a stack of exhibits over 20 exhibits, I charge a fee of $30 per hour for marking and identifying exhibits in the index. It is a lot of work, and I make sure my time is paid for.</p>

<p>Over the years I have had several requests for dates so I start every description with 5/2/13 letter from Smith to Jones and leave it at that.</p>

<p>if it's a chain, I start with the earlier one and write "chain" in there - it takes too long to do a very big description. we can't get away in Texas with all the extra spaces and 24 lines that I have seen recently.

I actually saw "Whereupon Smith Exhibit 26 was marked for identification." followed immediately by "Exhibit was tendered to the witness." That's like 5 lines per exhibit. Personally I HATE whereupon.

<p>Printing 100 pages for $25 is not a bad deal at all. I'd do it. As far as the laptop, my Skype surcharge is .50/page for each person. Makes it worth our while.</p>

<p>On another note, do you think it's reasonable to ask the reporter to print 100+ pages of exhibits at $0.25/page? And bring an additional LAPTOP to videoconference the witness so the taking attorneys can appear and TAKE the depo by video?</p>

<p>Most of the reporting firms I work for give me a transcript sample that includes how they want their exhibit index to look, and I usually try to follow that. </p>
<p>I have had one or two attorneys complain to me that sometimes the exhibit indexes that reporters create are so brief as to be completely useless when the attorney is looking to the exhibit index to refresh his memory on a document that he is searching for -- in other words, using the index as an actual index. </p>

<p>My preference is to do a single-spaced description of each exhibit that takes up one to three lines and includes the To and From and Date and Bates Numbers and a very brief description of the Subject. I like to spend some quality time with the exhibits, creating a job word list and becoming familiar with the terminology and the case. That also helps me to understand some of what I've written as I then begin to edit. </p>
<p>It does take a considerable amount of time when there are a lot of exhibits, but I think that's just part of the job, like the time it takes to create the opening and closing pages. On the bright side, the more exhibits there are, the more spellings I can find, and the more accurate my transcript will be :-)</p>

<p>Then how does your index look? Exhibit No. Description Identified</p>
<p>No description column?</p>
