How to Copy Legal Documents


Copy Legal Documents

Legal Documents are any papers used by lawyers prior to, during, or after legal proceedings have been completed. These can include such things as lists of evidence, subpoenas and interview transcripts, among others. Legal documents must be copied in a specific way so that they can be referenced easily when after being filed. While it does require a little extra work compared to making regular copies, copying legal documents is not at all difficult.

Instructions

  • Sign anything that needs to be signed on the document with a blue pen. Because copies are made in black-and-white, the blue pen will appear black on the copy. This way, you will always be able to differentiate the original from the copy.
  • Copy the documents. Put each page that you need to copy onto the copier's scanner, one at a time. Make sure they are face down and lined up in the scanner. Key in the number of copies you need to make on the keypad and press the SCAN button on the copier to complete the job.
  • Stamp each copied page of the documents with the COPY stamp. Every law firm needs to make copies on a daily basis. Because of this, every law firm has at its disposal a rubber stamp that reads COPY in big letters. This is to quickly and easily display that you are looking at a copy of an original document. Take the COPY stamp and stamp every page you've just copied, making sure not to stamp any of the original documents.
