Sure. After the information about the case itself (the header), they want the Attorney and Party data to look like this:
Attorney Julie Nagle
---Plaintiff Bob Bridge
---Plaintiff Helen Bridge
Attorney Ben Bogle
Attorney John Doe
Attorney Nancy Golden
---Plaintiff Roger Randle
---Plaintiff Geri Randle
---Plaintiff Jennifer Randle
---Plaintiff Henry Randle
---Plaintiff Percy Wilson
Attorney Jim Daniels
Attorney Frank Smith
---Defendant Amy Black
---Defendant George Green
Attorney Henry Prince
---Defendant Mary French
For each Case, there is at least one Party on each side; each Party is represented by one or more Attorneys. The problems with the report formatting come when they share Attorneys.. The data structure doesn't really facilitate grouping them. The Case is the 'parent', the Party the 'child', and the Attorney the 'grandchild'--and 'grandchildren' can be (and are) entered multiple times.. In this example, there are 20 Attorney records, but only 7 distinct individuals.
