Legalese refers to the use of complex and technical language, formalisms, and legal jargon that can make legal texts difficult for non-lawyers to understand. It often involves the use of Latin phrases, archaic terms, and convoluted sentence structures.
There has been a growing movement in recent years to simplify legal language and make it more accessible to the general public. The movement towards plain language helps ensure clear, concise, and understandable language in legal documents and enhances accessibility.
