I had thought that there might be a "package" available that would
satisfy my needs; however, I have not come across one. Obviously, I can
accomplish what I want manually, although having a package would make
things that much easier. I was quite surprised to find that although
Latex has hundreds of packages, there does not seem to be one that
addresses the needs of the legal profession. Maybe in a few years when
I actually learn how to write macros, etcetera, I might attempt to
create one.
