Typography for Lawyers
This find gets to go first because it is an excellent, excellent resource. It is something that all law students and in my (respectful) opinion, all legal professionals, should take a good look at. I’m afraid I don’t quite remember who passed this onto me (sorry!) so I will claim it as my [...]
