Enough of legalese

Sir, — A common man cannot understand the legal language that our elected officials use to write the law of the land.

How is he supposed to follow a law that he cannot understand?

It is time we changed the legal morass. The law of the land should be simple. Every one, including the uneducated, should be able to understand it.

Gnanasekaran Swaminathan,
Santa Ana, California
