 Stay of Execution: Boilerplate
I just took a draft of a notice of hearing and made a bunch of little changes -- get rid of these hyphens between these words, put a comma here, change this word, this phrase shouldn't be in all caps.
Because the syndicated material was often third-rate filler stuff, or semi-disguised advertising puffs, boilerplate quickly came to mean hackneyed or unoriginal writing, a meaning very close to that of stereotypeitself.
The same term was taken over by the legal profession (only from the 1970s according to the citations I’ve seen, but it is almost certainly older) to refer to the standard clauses in a contract, which didn’t change often and which could similarly be slotted into place in the text.

 The Boilerplate: What does it Accomplish?
For many lawyers, boilerplate has become the drafting equivalent of wallpaper -it looks nice, is always around, but after a while you don't notice it any more.
Although efficiency, cost reduction and experience would lead many jurists to accept boilerplate provisions as a routine and, perhaps, encouraged practice, the boilerplate continues to connote language that is "hackneyed" or "predictable"
Recent case law suggests that boilerplate provisions are not particular to any one contract and should therefore be given a consistent, uniform interpretation.

 Scrap your boilerplate with class: extensible generic functions -- Draft   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
The "Scrap your boilerplate" approach to generic programming allows the programmer to write generic functions that can traverse arbitrary data structures, and yet have type-specific cases.
However, the original approach required all the type-specific cases to be supplied at once, when the recursive knot of generic function definition is tied.
In this paper, we extend the "Scrap your boilerplate" approach to support this open style.

 Scrap your boilerplate: a practical approach to generic programming   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
The "scrap your boilerplate" approach to generic programming allows the programmer to generic functions that can traverse arbitrary data structures, and yet have type-specific cases.
Such programs often have a great deal of "boilerplate" code that simply walks the structure, hiding a small amount of "real" code that constitutes the reason for the traversal.
Our technique allows most of this boilerplate to be written once and for all (perhaps even mechanically generated), leaving the programmer free to concentrate on the important part of the algorithm.

 Ernie The Attorney: Why lawyers' use of boilerplate disturbs me   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
But, I still find the indiscriminate use of boilerplate by attorneys to be very disturbing, and I think it needlessly diminishes the stature of our profession.
Over at my blog I've been on rant about boilerplate language, specifically the verbose stuff that many lawyers (particularly those who work in large firms) are adding to their emails.
Upon receiving the email he was so upset he blasted the lawyer because he thought that the boilerplate message had to do with an tax issue that he had specifically asked the lawyer not to spend time working on.

I think it's very important that a site have a consistent look from page to page, but that means a lot of boilerplate which varies little from page to page.
As we moved from "description lists" to tables, the amount of boilerplate has just grown and grown, which makes it harder and harder to spot the bit in the middle that's unique to this page.
