Then I do not stand alone. I too, am a LyX fan. I will be taking the bar
soon and
then go into my own practice and I seem to be doomed to using a
different (less
than optimal) program for legal writing. Unfortuntely, I do not have the
know-how
or the time right now to develop a set of legal document class' that
will fill the
bill for the peculiar legal formats required for the courts here in the
United
States.
I would be willing to help on a limited basis (Maybe Dave would too???)
if there
was some kind soul out there who would undertake such a project. I
really do not
like "being forced" to use the word-processors that the legal community
seem to use
exclusively (MS-Word and Corel Word Perfect). There should be
alternatives. It
would be great if one of those alternatives was my favorite document
processor...the one and only LyX.
