Overlawyered

The heartbreak of small fonts
It seems Wal-Mart was supposed to use 10-point type for its "While Supplies Last" disclaimer when advertising its Early Bird specials in Utah, but instead used 7-point type. So naturally Matthew Howell, an attorney with the Provo law firm of Fillmore Spencer, has filed a would-be class action lawsuit against the giant retailer, on behalf of named clients Brandon and Tonya Barker. (Grace Leong, "Couple files suit over Wal-Mart early-bird deals", Provo Daily Herald, Apr. 21).
