Plain English — Legalese to Plain Language Translator

Translates every material clause in a contract into clear, jargon-free language that a non-lawyer can understand, while flagging clauses that appear to be deliberately confusing or that hide significant obligations behind complex wording.

Overview

Legal language exists for precision, but it is also routinely weaponized. Dense legalese discourages the other party from reading carefully, hides unfavorable terms behind jargon, and creates information asymmetry that favors the drafter.

This skill neutralizes that advantage by producing a clause-by-clause translation at an 8th-grade reading level (Flesch-Kincaid grade 8 or below), accompanied by flags that highlight where the original language is not just complex but strategically confusing.
