Default Re: Punctuation in the Legal Field

Y'all would be very amused with sentence structure (or lack thereof) used by attorneys. Not to mention the abundance of nonexistent words manufactured to express ideas which create legally binding documents.

Casiopea: re the Exhibit "A". example -- Would it be incorrect to eliminate the quotation marks around the letter or, if used, a number at the end of a sentence?

Would you also put a comma after the quotation marks if needed?

My thought is that if you use bold/italic/underline, whatever, it pulls the text together without having to identify this as a freestanding letter. (Exhibit A.)

Y'all have fun --luron
