Every writer develops verbal crutches over time. Extraneous words distract, and passive voice weakens the persuasive punch.
Legal Dialect provides invaluable advice on overcoming these bad habits and crafting clear, simple writing that communicates effectively and persuades.
The blog is a resource for professionals in law, government, and related fields. It shows readers how to transform their writing from bland legalese to compelling prose through practical examples, quick tips, and writing strategies.
The same principles apply in legislative drafting. Legal Dialect advocates for shorter, more accessible laws and regulations that reduce the legal burden in everyday life.
Fight legalese.
Use plain language.
