The current reader is not the same as it was a few years ago. In recent decades, electronic devices and the Web 2.0 have transformed the reality of reading, textual comprehension, and content production. In this new moment, holding people's attention in bureaucratic texts has become a challenge in the face of so many distractions available. In this scenario, legal writing composed of verbose, complex texts with inadequate typography goes against the principles of access to justice and the social function of language, as people with low levels of education may not understand the messages conveyed in the universe of Justice. In view of these propositions, this work deals with how to apply multimodal texts to legal documents. The main objective is to investigate whether the use of simple language and visual elements in legal documents can, in addition to making the content more understandable, facilitate access to justice and improve judicial performance. In these

terms, this work will be developed under the auspices of the qualitative approach. Initially, the research will be bibliographic with a literature review on language, multimodality, and information architecture. As a final product, an ebook will be created that will discuss design techniques, textual production, and simple language to assist in the creation of  legal texts. With this, it is intended to transform legal writings - which today are written in strictly technical language - into more pleasant and user-centered formats. The research result will be obtained by the qualitative analysis of the changes promoted in prototypes, in relation to the original texts, especially in relation to user satisfaction and experience. Thus, the research will be formed by the comparison between the rewritten documents in relation to the originals. To this end, in the final part of the research, a questionnaire will be distributed (survey) for evaluation by another group of participants of the two models produced: the original version of the documents and the prototype modified by the multimodality techniques. In order to evaluate the produced documents, we will use the Semantic Differentiation technique. Thus, it is sought to investigate whether, from the user experience perspective, there was improvement in the produced content.
