On the flipside, if the language is too casual you'd end up with people winning cases by being popular and snarky.

Part of the reason why Trump's cases have such a high turnover of lawyers. His antics just don't amuse a judge used to professionalism.

Not saying you don't have a point. After stuff like bees being classified as fish in California to protect them. It's clear to see legalese has gone to far.

Lmao, you weren't joking. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/06/us/california-bees-fish-court-ruling-scn-trnd/index.html

As absurd as it is, this is probably just because it's easier than changing that law.

[-] Delta_V@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

in a lucky loophole for insects, mollusks, and other spineless creatures falling under the umbrella term “invertebrate,” the act itself defines a “fish” as “a wild fish, mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate, amphibian, or part, spawn, or ovum of any of those animals.”

According to the law's specific definition of "fish", spiders and earthworms are also 'fish'.
