This judgment in the Family Court, written in the form of a letter to a 14-year-old, is an excellent example of the law trying to be accessible. https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWFC/HCJ/2017/48.html

Peter Jackson. Not the most unproblematic of judges. I now you say "trying" rather than "being".

@Sesquipedality It's an interesting exercise in attempting to express the reasoning in accessible language. To me it seems a little patronising but it's been a long time since I was 14 so I'm a poor judge of that... and was never very typically 14 anyway.

Problematic how?
