Have you read a bill? I think the details are ridiculous...there are Findings, which state the "WHY"...a glossary...a glossary for the glossary...footnotes...

Most bills would challenge even the most studious of law graduates with the formal outlining procedures and terminology...

It takes loads of people to interpret the laws, so simplification gets my vote, but I have no offering of how to do that without leaving even more to question and debate...

I like the upkeep period. The "reason why" although I like and as a manager I explain most of the time, I'm not sure how it would translate. "Why can't we murder people; murder is bad"

I agree that each law needs a kind of tl;dr at the end. Legalese is a language that consists entirely of details, layered upon each other to close loopholes like a word lasagna. I fear adding even more details would cause the whole thing to go torus shaped and break physics.
