[CLBS] Local Rule 2002.5(e)

[Paul Ross]

I did not get the 'blue' language in my e-mail.  I think good practice is
to have your clients familiar with and signed off on the plan before
filing, but if the rule does not require it, there must be a reason for
it.  What is that reasoning?  Does anyone know?
