Mark Adler is a solicitor in general practice but also teaches plain legal writing in the UK and overseas and acts as a plain drafting consultant to lawyers and others. For many years he was chairman of Clarity, the lawyers' movement for plain legal language, and he edited its journal from 1987 to 2000.
'All lawyers need this book ... if only to give our clients confidence in us and the legal profession generally! Adler shows us what to do to erase the gobbledegook, and he gets full marks for it. Thank you for an excellent contribution to the study of twenty-first century English language, and let's make this work a set book for all students in the future.' The Barrister 'Clarity for Lawyers is a practical book, written for lawyers by a lawyer. As you would expect, it's well written and easy to understand. As you might not expect, it's also entertaining. (More than once I was caught laughing out loud while reading it.) I think it will appeal to practising lawyers of all backgrounds and experience levels.' Clarity
