"We're adding new marketing software, so all the contacts in your attorney's Outlook address book need to be updated in the next week to comply with the following FIVE PAGES of address standards."
Paraphrased from something my legal secretary girlfriend got yesterday. So, on top of briefs, applications for leave to file briefs, and motions to ignore other people's briefs ("BRIEF" being the most oxymoronic word in the English language, in this case), now she has to update address books.
Fortunately, in the several years since Outlook was installed at her office, the attorney she works for has only three entries in his address book. His own name, an insurance adjuster from Cincinnati, and Elvis Presley.
All of whom now have had their addresses corrected, abbreviated, and adjusted to comply with corporate standards. Check another thing off the TO DO list.
