The plain language movement started in the 1940’s, so why are lawyers still writing like they just swallowed a Latin textbook?
You know that clear, concise writing is important for your reputation. But how do you make sure you’re using the clearest language, without accidentally removing key terms of art and important legal phrasing?
WordRake is your solution for plain language editing. Created in 2012, WordRake is legal editing software—an add-in for Microsoft Word and Outlook. In 2022, WordRake expanded to add Simplicity mode to help writers comply with plain language guidelines.
Writing with plain language doesn’t mean “dumbing down” what you’re saying—it means making your writing accessible for your audience. WordRake helps you find the right words and structures to make your meaning clear without losing legally operative phrases.
In this briefing you see how WordRake:
• gives different recommendations based on context
• edits for nominalizations, legalese, jargon, clichés, wordiness, unnecessary modifiers, redundancies, and more
• protects legally operative phrases and terms of art
• lets the user customize their experience, including turning off recommendations they don’t like.
• never communicates with the cloud and never stores or transmits any data
• goes beyond syllable counts to get to the heart of clarity
