It's been a while since I took on one of my little personal projects. I'm pleased to say it's been a while because I've been busy, but most of those projects are hidden behind non-disclosure agreements and threats to have my limbs snapped if I take credit for them (or worse, not get paid).

So here's the next thing I'm going to do to show off (or make myself look an arse if it goes wrong).

First of all, I want to say this isn't a personal attack on the author of the website www.typographyforlawyers.com, I'm all for anything that improves the design of documents, even if they never see the outside of a courtroom. The reason for this post is more a sense of frustration at the missing of a bigger picture.

The rules of typography for lawyers should be the same as they are for the rest of us. It may be easy to blame a bit of bad typography for poor communication, but in the case of the legal profession, I think a big step backwards needs to be taken.
