Default Punctuation in the Legal Field

We use many defined terms set off by quotation marks (i.e., "Land"). I was taught that periods should always be inside the quotation mark. The younger attorneys entering the workplace are stylizing their punctuation differently (i.e., at the end of a sentence ...."Land". OR Exhibit "A".) (Personally I would have typed ...."Land." or Exhibit A. possibly Exhibit "A.")

Have the punctuation rules changed in that regard in the last 25 years?

Thanks --luron
