I recently had a law student named Ben intern in my office to see what it was like to be in private practice. Ben was there when I got the call from the Circuit clerk's office. We heard over the speakerphone: "I was just calling to tell you that the court cannot accept the brief you filed last week." "Oh, why's that?," I asked. The reply: "You used the correct 12-point type throughout your brief, but one footnote is set in 10-point type."
