Bundle

A bundle is the paginated set of documents filed for a hearing, indexed so any page can be found from the index in one step.

Courts have rules about bundles, and they are not decorative. Pagination has to be continuous, the index has to match, and the copy in front of the judge has to be the copy in front of counsel.

Assembling one means converting every source format to PDF, keeping the exhibit order, generating the index from the actual contents, and doing it again when a document is added the night before.
