Plain English Committee
Our Committee
The goal of our Committee is to promote the use of clear writing by legal professionals.
Our Definition of Clear Writing (Plain English)
Our Method
To avoid generalizations, we divide legal writing into five main categories and then analyze each category separately.
Our Column
To publicize our efforts, we write or edit a monthly Plain Language Column in the Michigan Bar Journal (since May 1984.)
Our Clarity Awards
To promote our goal we give Clarity Awards in each of our five main categories to legal documents that have been written in clear language (since 1992).
