can't take credit for this idea, but i wonder why we haven't created a domain specific language for law & legislation. language intended for verbal communication (ie. english) seems like a really poor option.

Because the law isn't a machine, it's made from humans. And "verbal" (usually "natural" in this context) languages are how humans communicate.
