LEGAL LANGUAGE: LEGALESE AND PLAIN ENGLISH
The legal English uses word with several meanings (trust, try, action, act…), Latin or archaic words and is often confusing for
non-lawyers. This “language” is known as legalese. This gave rise of what is known as the Plain Language Movement. This
philosophy believes that all legal documents should by written in a way so that can be understood easily. This includes
eliminating expressions which have a plain English equivalent, avoiding Latin and archaic expressions and using short
sentences and headings. It doesn’t involve abandoning and replacing legal terms. People are entitled to know their law, which
is known as principle of accessibility.
Using plain English results in greater profits of firms and saving time. The Movement has become binding policy in Australia,
the USA and the UK. The use of plain language is also taught at law schools.
