One way to tackjle this, and it's what I did when I had to submit schedules
for review by counsel, was to footnote a few of the schedules with citations
and let counsel know that if they need to see more research/citations, they
can be supplied. This worked out well. Counsel was not overwhelmed with too
much information and they got a tast of where/how we developed the
schedules. It's also good to ask them how they would like to receive the
schedules -- what information pieces they'll need to make an informed
decision -- and therefore reduce any second-guessing of what you think they
may want.
