Clarity and Simplicity as Legal Language Requirements
The author notes that the study of legal language is not a new phenomenon. In many developed countries, the problems of legal language have been dealt with for a long time, and not without success. At the same time, various examples of legal language analysis in different countries are given in the work. It is emphasized that in Russia studies on the problems of the legal language are based on the theoretical and unsystematic nature, and are largely devoted to the language of legal acts. However, the general direction of movement in favor of using a clear and simple language introduces changes in the legal profession itself and the legal language. The role and tasks of the scientific community of each state is to improve the quality of the legal language, which will invariably lead to qualitative changes not only in legal texts, but also in the entire public life.
