Do any of these work?
http://documentation.openoffice.org/Samples_Templates/User/template/legal/index.html
http://www.wordautomation.com/calpleadings.html

MS Word provides a legal pleadings wizard; presumably the wizard is
written in VB & I'd be surprised if the same couldn't be written in
StarBasic. Couldn't you hire someone to modify existing templates and
macros to fit in OOo? Sounds as if you did, and did it as an extension
you could either contribute such to
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/
or even make a few bucks my selling the templates.

IANAL so my question(s) are curiosity driven and not from any experience
with legal pleadings... hopefully I can avoid such things :-)
