Abstract Text Controlled Legal German (CLG) is a subset of legal German specifically designed to facilitate the automated semantic processing of Swiss statutes and regulations. This paper describes the methods CLG uses to reduce ambiguity and underspecification in order to ensure that statutes and regulations can be deterministically translated into formal logical representations. CLG aims at bridging the gap between legal texts, written in natural language, and knowledge-based legal information systems, operating on the basis of formal logical representations.
