This book focuses on the nearly eight hundred codified laws that require plain language in legal documents. Every state, the federal government, and the District of Columbia have them. In addition to providing a history on plain language in the U.S., it provides terminology and classifications to allow a common dialogue for thinking about and discussing these laws. You will find helpful national overviews and statistics, as well as 16 appendices that contain the only centralized list of U.S. plain language laws as well as one appendix for each of 15 categories.
