[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 1036, member: 1"] In answer to a question about legal drafting: It’s important to think about the purpose of legal drafting to do well in this exercise. You're meant to be recording what the parties have agreed, or if it’s the first draft, your client’s instructions. There are consequences if a lawyer doesn't capture the points correctly. Some of the most important points: [LIST] [*]Spend a lot of time planning: think about the type of agreement, what has been agreed and how best you can set this out on paper. [*]Make sure the language is simple, relevant, clear and can’t be misconstrued. [*]Omit unnecessary words. [*]Have a clear layout, use headings and sub-headings if they help; it should be easy to read. Be consistent with your language and structure. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
