The Plain Language Practice

Why do lawyers still write in legalese?
Although the plain language movement has gained popularity in the legal profession, many lawyers cling to archaic and unnecessarily wordy writing. At best, legalese is confusing to readers (clients and judges alike). At worst, it creates ambiguities that hurt our clients.
Plain language makes legal documents understandable and usable by their readers - which should be every lawyer's goal.
This book is a collection of practical tips for reducing legalese and writing clearly. Litigators, transactional attorneys, and law students can all benefit from a crash-course in plain language. These tips are written in short sections so that even the busiest attorneys can find time to improve their writing.
