Litigation · Document production
Nobody went to law school to run Bates stamps at 9pm. Now nobody has to.
The sequence is stamped, the index is built and your originals are untouched. You review the set instead of driving a PDF editor across a production.
What DilloLex does
- Reads and names the set. Every page is read and every document is named for its date and what it is. Duplicates and bad scans are flagged for a person.
- Proposes redactions first. Identifiers are queued for your approval and applied to a copy, so the page is final before it carries a number.
- Stamps one continuous sequence. Bates numbers in your firm’s prefix run through the whole production. The stamp is written to the copy.
- Builds the index. A production index says what each page is, so a range can be cited and found.
- Keeps your originals. Every original is kept as received, byte for byte.
- Records it. Every action on the matter lands in a tamper-evident log, so you can show what went out and in what order.
The same stamping across your work
The same numbering and index serve the financial set behind a disclosure, the records in a demand package, your discovery extracts, trial exhibits built in citation order, and appellate appendix volumes with their indexes. One step, applied the same way every time.
Common questions
What does DilloLex do for a production?
It stamps one continuous Bates sequence in your firm’s prefix on a copy of each page and builds the index. Your originals stay as received, and duplicates and bad scans are flagged for a person.
Where does the index go?
Production sets come out Bates stamped and indexed, saved to the matter folder as new files for your review.
What happens when a page needs a redaction?
DilloLex proposes redactions for your approval, then applies them to a copy. The stamped set is the copy you approved.
Does it work on discovery you receive?
Yes. It pulls the pages that matter out of a large discovery packet into topical extracts. The original pages are untouched, each extract is stamped with its source page, and an index says what each page is.
What do I check before a set goes out?
Look over the index, the proposed redactions and a sample of the stamped pages. A person approves the set. Nothing leaves the firm until someone does.
