Funny how people's perceptions can differ isn't it? I think underlining is harder to read (as in disrupts the flow of reading). Ah well -- tomato, tomahto.
FWIW, I was taught in Legal Research and Writing to use italics if possible (and at the time, it usually wasn't unless you were having a printer was print your brief), otherwise underline. This was in the 1980s. When I clerked, we always underlined in opinions -- when the opinions were printed in the reports, of course, the underlining had been transformed to italics.
