I understand what you and creata are saying, and I don't necessarily disagree. What I mean is that everyone (judges and lawyers alike) could easily work off their own copy and refer to, say, paragraph numbers when necessary.
For instance, I would like 12-pt with ~1.2 line spacing, something akin to Tufte — so I have a nice wide margin to make notes and summaries.
