Schauerman v. Haag
Washington Supreme Court

1Opinion of the CourtHale, J.
Glaziers should glaze and lawyers should scriven, and neither ought do the other; for, when glaziers write and lawyers glaze, they are apt to make porous contracts and drafty windows. We are concerned in this action not -with lawyers working and fitting glass, but with glaziers who twice got together and rewrote parts of a professionally drawn contract. Failing to bring to their legal draftsmanship the same precision they had learned in mastering the glazier’s art, the parties effected a new contract more vague than effectual, less certain than enforceable.
