ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Legal Writing Institute

Okay kiddo, so the Legal Writing Institute (LWI) is a group of grown-up people who really like writing about the law. You know how you have to write sentences and stories for school? Well, these people write sentences and stories about old and new laws that people use to make decisions in court.

The LWI wants to make sure that the sentences and stories people write about the law are really clear and easy to understand. They teach other grown-ups who work with the law how to write in a way that everyone can understand.

It's kind of like a school for grown-ups who work with the law, and they learn how to write things so that it's easy to understand for people like you and me. They also talk about different ways to write things, like using pictures or lists to help explain things better.

And the cool thing is that the LWI is not just for people who work with the law, they also help people like you and me who want to learn about the law and how it affects our lives. So, now you know what the Legal Writing Institute is all about!
