Bundles of Authorities — tabbed, paginated, and bookmarked to each case.
Order your authorities once, apply the Bundle of Authorities preset, and BriefTech produces a paginated PDF with a tab-and-description index, tab pages before each authority, and PDF bookmarks that jump straight to the one you're citing.
Authorities are fiddly to assemble under pressure
- Tabbing and paginating a stack of cases and statutes by hand, then re-doing it when one is added.
- Keeping the index tabs and the actual tab pages in step with each other.
- Producing something a judge can navigate quickly in the hearing.
Three steps to a hearing-ready bundle
- 01
Gather the authorities
Upload the cases and statutes and arrange them in the order you'll cite them. Tab numbers follow that order automatically.
- 02
Apply the Bundle of Authorities preset
One click sets the two-column index — Tab and Description — and the 'BOA 1-1' page-number stamp used for authorities.
- 03
Generate
Produce a paginated PDF with a cover page, a table of contents, a tab page before each authority, and bookmarks that jump directly to it.
Bundle of Authorities preset
A two-column index — Tab and Description — with a 'BOA {v}-{p}' page-number stamp (for example BOA 1-1), configured in one click.
A Bundle of Authorities is read in the moment — counsel names a tab, and everyone must be on it at once.
BriefTech builds it from the same ordered index as every other bundle, so assembling one is the familiar flow with a different preset: order the authorities, apply the layout, generate. The tab numbering, the page stamps and the jump-to bookmarks all come from that one arrangement, so the bundle stays navigable even after a late addition — regenerate, and the tabs renumber themselves.
Common questions
What page-numbering does it use?
The Bundle of Authorities preset stamps pages in the 'BOA {v}-{p}' format — for example BOA 1-1 — so the bundle reads as a bundle of authorities rather than a general document bundle.
Can the judge jump to a specific authority?
Yes. The generated PDF carries bookmarks that jump directly to each authority, alongside the tab pages and the table of contents.
