Legalese
According to your article (Nov. 29), the Sierra Club wants to save our trees by requiring lawyers to use recycled paper and use both sides of a page.
If the Sierra Club would like to save whole forests rather than just a few thousand trees, I suggest that they encourage lawyers to use plain English.
In Witness whereof I have set my hand this 1st day of December, 1992.
