Abstract

The aim of the presented article is to demonstrate the possibility of implementing the principles of the Wrocław effective communication model in research conducted by theorists and philosophers of law as well as linguists. The author reflects on the difficulty of comprehending legal language and creating texts of normative acts in an uncomplicated manner. The “plain language” standard has been used in the Polish public sphere, which is why it is worth considering that the introduction of legal regulations would permanently change the way law is made and applied. The call for a clear language in legislation has long been voiced in legal studies. The area requires in-depth research and then perhaps specific solutions in order for plain legal language to become a standard.
