Law Society of Ireland Article on Plain Language

The Law Society of Ireland Gazette recently published an article called Mind your language that discusses the advantages of drafting legal documents using accessible, understandable terminology, or what is described as "plain language"

The practice has been spreading gradually in many fields including law, and the International Standards Organisation is even expected to produce a standard for plain language this year.

The article offers examples of plain language from a number of countries, like the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and of course Ireland.
