Talk:Legal writing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The exemplar phrases given all seem like plain English to me. Maybe not in everyday use, but I would think that 95% of English speakers would understand what is meant. 148.177.129.212 15:14, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps some discussion of the SEC "plain English" directives would be useful in understanding efforts to combat legalese.

I have contributed significantly to the "Legal Writing" article. I am here now because the article has been flagged: "the neutrality of this article is disputed." I do not see a dispute here in the talk page. I do not know what "exemplars" the first entry above is referring to, and I agree that discussing the SEC's plain-English directive would be helpful. I will. So what is the dispute? Wschiess 14:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps it's just me, but I don't want the Legal English entry merged into the Legal Writing entry. Who does? Wschiess 13:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I do. They appear to be about the same phenomenon. Can you explain why they are not? --Alynna 16:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
