Abstract
Because of the difficulties in understanding legal contract language, several states now require contracts to be written in "plain English ."This article discusses the legal effects of such laws and the guidance they provide to business writers . The availability of adequate sanctions to ensure enforceability is discussed. The article describes the plain English principles required to comply with both highly specific and general versions of a PEL. Finally, the author argues that PEL's are a valuable tool in promoting understandable business contracts.
