    people would hate the courts less if they’d just talk like human beings rather than cloak everything in this bullshit cold legalese which makes everyone sound as stark and removed as possible. if someone’s life is at stake, fucking talk like it!

      My first instinct is to agree with you.

      My second instinct is to think that most of what I tend to think of as bullshit cold legalese is actually exceedingly precise, which I have to admit is a good quality to have when it comes to matters of law.
