Writing for Dollars, Writing to Please: The Case for Plain Language in Business, Government, and Law

Kimble (legal writing, Thomas Cooley Law School), longtime editor of the ＂Plain Language＂ column in the Michigan Bar Journal, promotes the benefits of plain language in the manner of the King James Bible and Abraham Lincoln. He argues that plain language is more efficient, and therefore reduces the workload of lawyers. The guide includes publications, projects, and laws toward that goal, and before-and-after examples of drafts of actual government, corporate, as well as academic writing.
