Cut legalese without changing meaning

This page lists three turns, the messages you send to the AI one after another in the same chat, and then a check of the answer. Keep it open next to your chat. Each turn shows the next thing to paste, with the values you entered already filled in. Nothing is sent from this page, and your conversation stays in the AI tool you are using.

Paste the legalese-heavy passage with capitalization, defined terms, and section numbers intact.

Controls how far the rewrite can go and which conventions survive.

The actual reader and their reading level or sophistication.

Capitalized or contract-defined terms that must survive verbatim.

Governing law or forum: some states impose plain-language rules, and doublets vary in meaning by state.

Watch for these throughout

  • Terms of art carry meaning that plain English does not. Force majeure, res judicata, condition precedent, and mens rea are not translation candidates.
  • Defined terms and cross-references break silently. Diff the clean version against the original for capitalization and section numbers before using it.
  • A global shall-to-must sweep changes obligations across an entire agreement. Review it clause by clause, never as a find-and-replace.
  • Some jurisdictions impose plain-language requirements on consumer contracts and insurance policies, and some doublets are read as distinct obligations. Confirm the rule for your governing law.
  • Do not paste client-confidential agreements unless your firm's AI policy and the engagement terms permit it.
