Text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership
can't take credit for this idea, but i wonder why we haven't created a ___domain specific language for law & legislation.
language intended for verbal communication (ie. english) seems like a really poor option.

Because the law isn't a machine, it's made from humans. And "verbal" (usually "natural" in this context) languages are how humans communicate.

Humans also communicate through formal systems, which is why the history of logic has always involved formalization.
