From the supplier: Judges in the 21st century will face an ever-increasing caseload, and lawyers recognizing this will use plain language rather than legalese to make their points quickly and concisely. In one recent study, 86% of Florida judges preferred a plain English version of a passage from a brief to its more traditional counterpart, as did 82% in Louisiana and 85% in Michigan. Attorneys will recognize how much they have to learn and to unlearn; most large law firms will have a full-time writing consultant, and courses will be more popular.
