How to Create an Index for Legal Documents

For most legal teams, compiling legal brief documents is an essential part of their pre-trial preparation. When compiling a legal brief for court it is imperative that the required rules and requirements are followed. One of the requirements for every legal brief is an index, which should be included at the front of each brief.
