Legalese is a professional language of lawyers:
a) words and expressions that have no meaning for non-lawyers, some come from Latin or French.
b) words which have special meaning when used by lawyers (nuisance – nepřípustné jednání, consideration –
protiplnění).
c) old fashioned words (hereinafter – níže, aforesaid – výše)
d) very long sentences containing many clauses which limit and define the original statement.
The reason why legalese still exists is, that old documents and reports using it are still valid, also that the words need to
be complex because people always look for a legal loophole by using ambiguity.
