A quick definition of Plain-language law:

Plain-language law: This is a type of law that says companies have to write their contracts in a way that regular people can understand. Contracts are things like rental agreements, loans, and insurance policies. This law helps people know what they're agreeing to when they sign a contract.

A more thorough explanation:

Plain-language law is a type of law that requires companies to write their contracts in simple and easy-to-understand language. This means that contracts like residential leases, loan agreements, software licenses, and insurance contracts should be written in a way that regular people can understand.

  • A residential lease is an example of a contract that should be written in plain language. This is because people who rent apartments or houses need to understand the terms of their lease so they know what they are agreeing to.
  • A loan agreement is another example of a contract that should be written in plain language. People who borrow money need to understand the terms of their loan so they know how much they will have to pay back and when.
  • Software licenses are also contracts that should be written in plain language. People who use software need to understand the terms of the license so they know what they can and cannot do with the software.
  • Insurance contracts are another example of contracts that should be written in plain language. People who buy insurance need to understand what is covered and what is not covered so they can make informed decisions about their coverage.

These examples illustrate the importance of plain-language law. By requiring companies to write their contracts in simple and easy-to-understand language, people can make informed decisions about the products and services they are buying.

as a general piece of advice - whatever you wrote about your job in any material - make sure you share that w them so they can co sign that and expand on it!

Yeah I was hoping to submit it to GULC to get off the WL. I’m assuming most of their medians are hit so they need diversity and experience etc
19:29
@Hellwoods2025: gotcha yeah they actually offered first to try and help they’re super supportive so I’m not worried they’ll hate me and use it to screw me over hahaha
19:30
@trees1234567: gotcha when I send my supervisor the list of things to talk about I’ll include the paragraph I wrote as a “job update” for my LOCI ty
trees1234567
19:31

like that is always helpful and then anything else they can do is above and beyond!
19:32
Tbh I downplayed myself and more mentioned as a team we did x y and z and all that cuz I didn’t wanna come off as arrogant and be like “all me” so them backing it up or expanding on how I specifically helped even more than the “here were my notable contributions to this team effort” should strengthen I think
trees1234567
19:33
yep
trees1234567

19:34

Gotta think if you're willing to re write your essays though - most schools expect/want new material
