In association with Clarity, the International Association for Plain Legal Language, Professor Helen Xanthaki and Dr Giulia Adriana Pennis explored whether a layered structure is a workable way to promote clarity in legislation and other documents in a joint event “Seminar of Clarification and Easification of Legislative Drafting“ held at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies on 25 March 2015.
The Legislation and Language Project at the Sir William Dale Centre for Legislative Studies at IALS, continues to investigate the crossroads between legislative drafting and language/linguistics.
