"Better Legal Writing Is Plain and Simple"

Find several resources for writing better legal documents on this much-linked blog:

"Legal language is used to record and explain the most important events in people's lives -- should it not be comprehensible?

"Modernizing the archaic style you learned by rote is easy and with a little practice becomes habit.

"Legal writing should be well organized (simple) and use everyday words (plain). This is easy to learn if you have the desire. So go for it."
