intelligibilty and clarity of texts and communications...

i'm interested in the above, especially in contexts of legal documents,
consumer protection, standard contracts etc.
i'm looking for research, line of thought etc., that argues that
complexity
of and un-intelligibilty of "legalities" is redundant and un-necessary,
and
serves political and corporational goals (keep the masses ignorant
about their rights/obligations). other possible connections would be
from information theory etc.
i have an intuition that the the intelligibilty and clarity of texts
could/should be measured and quantified
i will be thankful for any comment, reference etc.
