Litigators , I appreciate that motions are often written under deadline pressure that make good typography seem like an unaffordable luxury .
But when is it more important to have your reader ’ s full attention ? You ’ re asking a judge to order a remedy — or , if you ’ re opposing , to refrain from ordering that remedy . The issue is important enough to have reached the judge ’ s desk . The ruling may not be appealable . Shouldn ’ t you put your best foot forward ?
“ Yes , but where do I find the time ? ” You take care of the typography before you write your motion — by setting up a motion template with paragraph and character styles that handle most of the typography chores as you write . When you get to the end , there ’ s not much left to do .
Or you can submit motions that look like they just rolled out of bed .
