18-year olds as infants? Why do they use so much Latin when so few of their
clients are Ancient Romans? Is it a conspiracy?
Party of the First Part has the answers! Check out the Website for the
Legalese Hall of Shame; a glossary of legal words linked to Adam Freedman's
columns; tips on writing legal documents in plain English; and more!

My new book....
An originalist manifesto, The Naked Constitution presents a compelling response to the “Living Constitution” theory that allows judges to change the Constitution at will. In this book, Adam Freedman shows how fidelity to the original meaning of the Constitution is the only way to save the Founder Fathers’ ideal of liberty, federalism, and pluralism.

My other book . . .
The Party of the First Part: The Curious World of Legalese, by Adam Freedman.
The perfect gift for lawyers and language lovers alike (not to mention law students and pre-law undergrads).
Order today from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or other fine booksellers.
William Safire of the New York Times praises it as "a lighthearted but lucid explanation of legalese."
"Publishers Weekly calls it "hilarious, offbeat and downright bizarre."
Jeremy Blachman, author of Anonymous Lawyer, calls it "hugely
entertaining."
