I did that. I'm a lawyer. Latex generates pdfs only, so there's nothing to edit. Judges get pissed because they can't use their own software meant to put their signatures on proposed orders. Opposing counsel is pissed because they have to do everything in hard copy. I eventually got pissed because latex is ridiculous and exhausting to use in most situations. Made good looking pdfs, though.
The real shame is that the profession abandoned wordperfect. If it had been around during the LLM era, you'd have perfect control with little learning curve.
False. Legal systems use PDF for documents. For editing anything can be used. From MS Office to cloud systems. Formats? docx or odt. It doen't matter. But final documents are always PDFs and Digitally Signed PDFs. And yes, I work with laywers and at a big legal system on gov. Sorry, but you know nothing, Jon Snow.
Lawyers just need to learn to use latex and git, problem solved. Lol.

There was Wordperfect. Between MS foisting it on everyone and missteps, writing world has regressed
