| | An even sterner critic was Jeremy Bentham, who excoriated the language of lawyers as "excrementitious matter" and "literary garbage." Bentham advocated codification, in which all of the law would be systematically divided into codes on various topics. | | | It's probably fair to say that the modern movement began in the 1970s. | | | Lawyers often argue that important nuances would be lost if the law were stated in plain English. |
