SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"In the second edition of this text, the authors show how and why traditional legal language has developed the peculiar characteristics that make legal documents inaccessible to the end users. Incorporating recent research and international examples, the book provides a critical examination of case law and the rules of interpretation. Detailed case studies illustrate how obscure or outdated words, phrases and concepts can be rewritten, reworked or removed altogether - without compromising legal exactitude. In emphasising the benefits of plain language drafting, the focus is on clarity and accessibility. Particularly useful is the step-by-step guide to drafting in the modern style, using practical examples from four types of common legal documents: leases, company constitutions, wills and conveyances." "Modern Legal Drafting: A Guide to Using Clearer Language will benefit lawyers, law students, legislative drafters, and all who work in law-related fields."--Jacket.
