What is safer to use when setting up precedents for use within a law firm?
Setting the precedents up as templates or making them read-only?

[Jezebel]

Safe in what sense? Neither method will protect you from someone who wants
to make unauthorised changes.

Templates. No question about it. Some bright lawyer always gets
annoyed that s/he can't save the protected document, goes out and
unprotects it, and overwrites your base document.

Even when you use templates, keep backup copies. Preferably burned to
CD.

and
