    I think In the book Stasi State or Socialist Paradise it was said that the DDR rewrote their legal code to be in modern, plain language

        It was unfortunately all thrown out during the Nazi Federal Republic’s annexation of Socialist Germany.

        I don’t know about the language of Cuba or DPRK’s legal code, but I believe both legislate certain matters by way of series of mass meetings involving the participation of broad cross sections of the population. That would suggest to me that the masses would be more familiar with legal language even if it was still encumbered with legacy terms.
