Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm a paralegal student in Alabama, and this book was our text for a transactional drafting class. While I know I will probably never have to draft a contract or agreement from scratch, this book will be on my desk if I do.
The first chapters deal with drafting in general--proper English (grammar), good punctuation, and form. The later chapters deal with specifics--ambiguity, vague references, the dreaded and/or, and lists.
The book is an easy read--I would guess the typeface is a 12- or 14-point. Some of it is a little too simplistic, but for the most part it's right on target. There were several of us taking both this drafting class and another writing class this term, and the second professor made a comment about our writing getting more concise and to the point. This book must be getting it into our heads!

This text provides a comprehensive and flexible teaching instrument for any course in legal drafting. It contains text, examples, and exercises that deal with both contract and statutory drafting - making the text suitable for a general drafting course, or one that focuses on either of the two more specialized forms of a drafted document. Most of the chapters have an end-of-the-chapter exercise that tests the student's knowledge of and ability to apply the materials. It also contains another fifteen drafting exercises that involve drafting or revising either specific provisions or entire contracts and statutes.
