[Modernman]

If a law can't be written in 25 words or less, it doesn't need to be written. If longer than 25 words, it is gobbly gook.

Try writing complex securities law in 25 words or less, or do you think stocks sold on the NYSE can be regulated in 25 words or less? Try drafting a bancruptcy code that protects the interests of the debtor, creditor and third-parties in 25 words or less. Or do you think we don't need those laws?

Keep in mind, the shorter the text of a codified law, the more discretion you give judges to interpret the law.

Yes to all, if the language is concise, no interpatiation allowed.

WE have over complicated our lives and lawyers are to blame.
