This study focuses on the simplification of the Pakistani legal text in both academic and occupational contexts to make the justice speedy. The comparative analysis of effectiveness of original and simplified versions of the legal texts in Pakistan is systematically analyzed and followed with recommendations. The purpose of this study is to suggest Plain English Language Movement in academic and legal professional settings to make the justice speedy. The aim of this study is to measure the linguistic adequacy of stake holders concerning the comprehension level and required time of comprehending statutes and extracts from judicial judgments in original and simplified versions so that the problems regarding the complexity of legal language and consequently recommendations be given to improve comprehension and to save time. I designed an exploratory study focusing on an experiment by describing the perceptions of law professionals and making comparisons in complex and simplified law language. It is a comparative study in nature, and at the same time it is experimental based on particular methodology and philosophy. In this regard, mixed method approach is taken into account to communicate the data. Purposive sampling was used to gather the data by employing survey questionnaires and tests (1 & 2). To measure the comprehension level and time spent, tests (1 & 2) were conducted among the law students, while two sets of questionnaires were distributed among two population groups; law teachers and lawyers. The data regarding tests and closed ended items of the questionnaires were quantitatively analyzed by using SPSS 15.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences), while open ended items of the questionnaires were qualitatively analyzed through identifying common themes and reviewing responses. The findings exhibited clearly the effectiveness of the simplified versions and complexity of original versions of the legal texts. This is evident that original legal texts due to its complex nature make a receding effect on the readers‘ comprehension. The findings also make clear that the simplified versions of the legal texts can prove beneficial in academic and professional legal settings as it is widely supported and approved by the members of the legal discourse community. Considering the findings of this study, Plain English Movement in Pakistani academic and professional legal settings has been recommended. The findings also highlight the potential areas for further research in the field of language and law with reference to speedy justice.

This study examines the impact of free cash flow on performance of textile industry of Pakistan, in the light of free cash flow hypothesis stated by Jensen (1986).A sample of sixty seven (67) textile companies listed at Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has been used for a period of six years from 2012 to 2017.Return on Assets (ROA) is used as a measure of Performance, a dependent variable.Free Cash Flow (FCF) is an independent variable of the study; three control variables i.e. Financial Leverage, Firm Size and Firm Growth are also included in the analysis. The findings of the studyare based on regression analysis of entire industry and its subsectors (i.e. composite, spinning and weaving). The results show significant positive relationship between free cash flow and performance and significant negative relationship between financial leverage and performance in entire textile industry and in its subsectors as well.
