I'd be interested to see if anyone has attempted to write legal documents using a logical engineered language like Lojban. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojban

I wonder if the cost of having people learn to use a logical engineered language is greater or less than than the cost of hashing out ambiguities in other languages later.
- dctoedt 7y agoThere's a huge chicken-and-egg problem: Few people want to be the first mover in an area as dark and mysterious as "The Law" (I'm being sarcastic). Add to that, the capture of contract drafting by lawyers, many of whom prefer to write hard-to-understand legalese to try to keep the mystery going and to bolster their own employment prospects.
