parentheses - Use of brackets in legal writing

I see in legal writing the use of double brackets in a quote to indicate part of the quote is deleted, such as: "All work [] makes Johnny a very dull boy." I thought the correct way to do this quote would have been "All work ... makes Johnny a very dull boy." Could you tell me when the brackets with no words between them is used correctly? Thanks.
