4—LEGAL EMPLOYMENT WEEKLY
SIMPLE WORDS
BY: Caren Mansfield, a
member of the Illinois
Paralegal Association
The undersigned, the
fabulous writer of this
instrument, henceforth and
herewith, and pursuant to
our agreement on the occa-
sion of the recent date cer-
tain replies to your respect-
ful request and prayer for
information. This means - I
agreed to write. One of the
problems, I mean long-
standing traditions in the
legal field, has been the use
of language that may seem
formal, verbose, stilted,
inflated or simply not
understandable. A parale-
gal can learn to remain pro-
fessional and retain formal-
ity while creating docu-
ments that are clear, con-
cise and informative.
The trend in the legal
profession over the past
several years has been to
simplify terminology, to
avoid using legal jargon
when more simple terms
will suffice and even use
plain language. The courts
ask for clear and concise
language in pleadings. The
use of words containing
several syllables does not
necessarily mean that you
are getting your point
across. Part of developing
a career as a paralegal is
creating or defining your
writing style. Part of defin-
ing your writing style may
be adapting to the writing
style of the lawyers who
employ you. Every writer
has quirks or terms, phras-
es or words that are used
frequently. Those certain,
favorite terms may appear
frequently in documents to
lead the reader along.
When reading documents
do those terms overwhelm
you? Part of developing a
writing style is to identify
when such terms are over-
used. Does your favorite
attorney use the term “irre-
gardless” or other such
terms. No, irregardless
(and others like it) is not a
word and it will be your
responsibility to gently
wean him or her from
using words that will simply
make opposing counsel or
a judge scratch their head
in wonder at the ingenuity
of the word.
A paralegal should con-
sider who the reader of the
document will be. Will
your document be read by
a client, your employer, the
court, a vendor, etc.
Another consideration is
the organization of the
document. When drafting
documents for the court,
