Paper

From a footnote to a case I am reading for work (Heffernan v. Pacific Dunlop GNB Corp., 1993 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 5 (N.D. Ill. 1993)):

"At the onset, the court notes that the parties - particularly defendants - have, through the sheer volume of paper submitted and tangential arguments presented, needlessly obfuscated an uncomplicated dispute between a corporation and a former director.  'Responses' to 'replies' to 'responses' add little and cloud much.  The parties, and the court itself, could have been better served through the exercise of greater restraint, taking the form of sharpened arguments, exacting discussion and less paper."

I love it when the courts start making comments about the parties.  Hehe.
