This Would Help A Lot Of Situations Actually

The lawyers in Congress should love this idea...  Should pass like shit through a goose.

If a contract is so complicated that a high-school graduate cannot hope to understand it and they signed without legal representation, the contract is void.

Look at the single page document that's a car loan then compare it to the pages and pages of credit card and student loan contracts...

Contract law has gotten out of hand all across the board.

It's lawyer's fault for taking cases where the simple language says their client owes, but they try to get out of it anyways.  So more complex language is added to prevent that from happening again.

Lather, rinse, repeat, until most every contract is an indecipherable mess of legalese.

Like insurance contracts.

    The Great One (Robert A. Heinlein) proposed something like this with his idea for a "Plain English Amendment." It's in the end of his book Expanded Universe.
