"It looks worse than it is, it's just that we have a particular house style." "Okay, no offense, but you're a second-year associate, right?" "Yep." "And I came in as a fourth-year." "That's right."

"Like here, the Roman numeral headings?" "We use all-caps for those." "And you indented them, which is perfectly fine, but Cliff likes them cantered." "And before I forget, we put two spaces after a period on all our documents." "I know it seems like a minor thing, but it really looks so much cleaner on the page." "You went a tad overboard with the quotations." "It's okay to present a quote from a controlling legal opinion, but when you use too many, it disrupts the flow of your argument and it gives the impression you don't know how to write an argument of your own."
