Management: Raising the Bar on Legal Writing

In 1596, Chancellor Egerton of Westminster Hall cut a hole through the center of a lawyer's rambling 120-page tome, stuffed the lawyer's head through it, and paraded him before the entire court at Westminster Hall. Though humiliating, this early lesson in the offensiveness of legalese was apparently lost on the greater legal community.
