Embargoed till delivery. Raising Legal Awareness 3. Very often, law can be daunting for us, especially faced with legal jargon, long contractual agreements and fine print which are not easy to understand. Our legal community is making efforts to simplify legal writing. At the same time, it is important that the community do our part to continue to bring law closer to the ground, raise the understanding of legal issues, and simplify it for the man in the street. This year’s Law Awareness Week @CDC has two key objectives. 4. First, knowing our legal rights and responsibilities. Law Awareness is more than community education. It is about empowering residents to recognise that they have legal rights and responsibilities, and knowing how and where to find information on legal issues.
