Joint appendix and appellate record preparation
For federal, state, and local courts and administrative proceedings. Compilation, pagination, and source checks for counsel's review.
Our approach
Appendix preparation and review
We compile designated record materials, format the appendix, and check it against the record and the requirements of the applicable court or tribunal. Counsel confirms designations and reviews the appendix before filing.
AI-Powered Document Processing
Automated extraction, optical character recognition (OCR), and formatting help prepare record materials for compilation and review.
Human-Guided Review
Our team checks the agreed record package against the source materials and the identified formatting requirements. Counsel reviews the result before filing.
Coordinate designations
We organize counsel’s designations and track document selections for the agreed appendix or record package. Counsel resolves designation questions.
Our Services

We collect, organize, and compile designated documents from the underlying case record into an appendix or appellate record package organized to the applicable court or tribunal's requirements.
Hyperlinking & Cross-Referencing
We link record citations to corresponding pages included in the appendix, as agreed in scope. Cross-references between appendix documents can also be linked.
Table of Contents & Pagination
We generate accurate tables of contents with proper pagination, volume breaks, and sequential page numbering that comply with the applicable court or tribunal’s formatting rules.
Document Formatting & Quality Control
The agreed preparation can include orientation, margins, OCR text, bookmarks, pagination, and source comparisons. We identify the checks and delivery format with counsel before starting.
