I guess even the pros have a hard time when confronting the language of legalese. They may know their rhetoric, perhaps even a bit of logic. But, their grammar leaves something to be desired.
 
Too many damn words in legalese. All inculcated with definitions of  'common' words defined differently from what Merriam-Webster has to offer.
 
Kudos to the judge!

It's funny how a comma can change the effects of the word as regulated by law.

Punctuation isn't the only thing to look for. The 'letter' of the law is important!
