Description

BASIC LEGAL DRAFTING is a practical guide to creating well-organized and clearly articulated legal documents. With over twenty-five years of teaching experience, this book provides down-to-earth instruction for law students and practicing attorneys alike.

The text focuses on the often-challenging task of organizing a document, as well as articulating language to achieve clarity and precision. It also addresses common pitfalls such as ambiguity and provides concrete recommendations for drafting effective documents.

Useful examples are included in chapters on litigation, contracts, and legislation, covering topics from simple complaints to complex statutory-based multi-count complaints, contract frameworks, and legislative protocols.
