Drafting complex legal and legislative documents can be challenging. From the organization of complex ideas to ensuring clear and unambiguous language, legal and legislative drafting is an onerous task. Mistakes can be costly - even catastrophic -for lawyers who face malpractice claims if drafting errors cost their clients money. Those charged with drafting legislative or legal documents need a solution to help them navigate through these challenges.

The Second Edition tackles this challenge - the book goes far beyond simply discussing the applicable principles; it provides readers with a step-by-step guide that helps them put those principles into action.
