New Link: Typography for Lawyers

I stumbled upon a new site today that is not specifically geared toward Children’s Law, but I thought it was important enough to add here.  The site deals with typography, which is something most of us do not think about.

You may be asking yourself, “what is typography?”  Typography is the arrangement and appearance of printed matter.

In a profession in which the primary objective is to get your idea across, perhaps it is something at which we should take a closer look.  To be sure, the court rules contain certain constraints regarding the appearance of court filings.  This is all the more reason attorneys should look more at the typography of their documents more carefully than other professions.   For example, typography can draw the reader to important portions of the document and make it more visually appealing.   I have included the link on the links page, but you can also find it here.
