Good Type v. Bad Type

I was reviewing amicus briefs for United States v Williams when I found something interesting.

Compare the type from this brief prepared by Winston & Strawn:

18 U. C.  § 2252A(a)(3)(B)

To the type from this brief submitted by the American Center for Law & Justice:

18 U. C.  § 2252A(a)(3)(B)

It looks like Winston & Strawn — which claims to be “among the most technologically advanced law firms in the world” — doesn’t know how to set type quite right, or doesn’t care to.
