The researchers' findings suggest that lawyers use legalese as a way to assert authority and confound readers, which may be an intended effect of this intricate language.
Gibson noted that legalese is essentially propagated by the belief that legal documents should sound that way, leading non-lawyers to adopt this convoluted style.
Interestingly, even lawyers find legalese unwieldy and complicated, raising questions about why this language persists despite its unpopularity among both professionals and laypeople.
