A law office was my Yale College and my Harvard.

Formatting official legal documents is interesting. It's like being back in college again. Everything is single spaced, and paragraphs run from the very short (45 words) to the very long (180 words). There are two spaces left after every period, and as obvious from my blog, that's not how I roll on my free time.

I love the starchy feel of the red line paper used for court documents. The thin red vertical line running down the left hand side of the paper really brings out the bleached, snow like white color of the paper.

The head attorney at the office I work at knows The Elements of Style by heart. Yesterday she gave me back some documents I'd be working on without any revisions or corrections on them. I haven't felt that proud of something I wrote since Professor Arnason gave me an "A" for my term paper, Batman: A Semiotic Analysis.
