UX Writing Case Study – Legal Content Optimization
πŸ“Œ Streamlining Legal Content for Mobile Usability
Making complex legal terms accessible, clear, and user-friendly within app constraints.
The Problem
Legal text is traditionally dense and difficult to fit within mobile UI. Users need to quickly understand key policies without cognitive overload.
The Approach
βœ… Content Strategy: Collaborated with legal experts to ensure compliance while simplifying language.
βœ… Microcopy Optimization: Reworked complex phrasing into UX-friendly terms.
βœ… Design Integration: Aligned wording with mobile space limitations for clarity and ease of reading.
Before & After
Before (Legal-heavy version) After (User-friendly version w/ further refinement)
“Pursuant to the applicable Alerts terms and services agreements, users are required to review and acknowledge the provisions set forth therein. If access, retention, or retrieval of these documents, including the eSignature agreement, is necessary, users may navigate to the Alerts Agreements page at their discretion to obtain, save, or download the requisite materials.” “Please review and accept our Alerts terms and services agreements. To access, save, or download the eSignature agreement, visit the Alerts Agreements page at any time.”
πŸ”Ή The Impact
  • **Increased user comprehension** by simplifying legal terms.
  • **Improved accessibility** without sacrificing compliance.
  • **Legal + UX teams alignment** for streamlined implementation.


Educational Testing Service

Educational Testing Service (ETS) is known for its administration of a few certification and student exams, with the most popular being Praxis (for teachers) and the GRE (for students). I had the opportunity to liaise between our coding team and marketing managers to ensure that product copy followed ETS style and brand guidelines. We mostly collaborated on verbiage, placement of copy, and formatting (helping marketing teams create experiences that aligned with development and ETS brand guidelines.
