Description
This product provides guidance on producing transactional documents, contracts, instruments, legislation, and regulations that solve existing problems and prevent future problems. It provides both a large-scale, macro overview of the drafting process as well as small-scale, micro-focused discussion of the mechanics of legal documents at the sentence, word, and punctuation level. The third edition has been extensively revised to include focused, concrete discussion of ambiguity, vagueness, definitions, representations, warranties, covenants, conditions, document formatting, and drafting ethics.
