I think you have to create the layouts yourself (unless you're lucky). If you have latex for how your layouts should look, I'd say it is pretty easy to do this. So maybe you should try and find "a latex class" or "latex style" for what you want.

Then it is of course quite possible to modify existing layouts to suit your needs. Here's a URI to someone who describes his experience with that: (can't remember wich one it is, but both are "good" for you)

• http://www.troubleshooters.com/lpm/200210/200210.htm

Then there is of course all the other links...

However, I also think I've seen stuff in this list before about writing "legal stuff", so maybe you could search the list archives?

Or, send a specific question with a title like:

       Looking for a layout for 'legal something something'

that ought to get the attention of other laywers :-) And even if they don't have the layout, maybe you could cooperate in creating it.

When it comes to help, this list is a good place to get tips on how to change particulars. Also
