LABC Publication Readability

How much legal understanding is needed?

No legal understanding required. Outline or “first step” information, written in clear language for those with no previous knowledge or experience with the law. Some understanding helpful but not essential. Offers all basic information on a topic, meant for those who are reasonably comfortable reading and who may have a general sense of some legal concepts. Basic familiarity assumed. Detailed material, written primarily as a reference for the advocate/intermediary audience, although accessible to members of the public with adequate literacy skills.
