I also got the idea from law school that a lot of going to law school is to show to the courts that you've shown you're not going to waste the legal system's time by not knowing how to follow all the procedure and how to write legal documents you submit to the court. The rules of civil litigation and how you must write documents are hideously complicated due to having been built up over centuries to strike a balance between unnecessary and time wasting game playing by very crafty players and giving parties a fair chance to prove their case. For example, the clerk at the civil litigation court is often like a compiler that will just ignore your document if you didn't do it just right. It's like writing a nice big long program and the compiler's only response is to segmentation fault on you if you made any error in the filing. I bet these court clerks receive lots and lots of filings that are a big unprofessional mess that they just throw in the trash.
