DRAFTING COURSES

These courses are designed for lawyers and other professionals looking to improve their writing of legal agreements, letters and e-mails and understanding of legal documents. They are  for 1, 3 and 5 days. The course trainer will teach them to individuals or groups as well as in-house.

The courses will focus on the do's and don'ts of legal writing, the expressions to avoid and include, and grammar rules particularly relevant to legal writing. They will also focus on effective, unambiguous writing, using words that are clear to understand, punctuating and document design.

Students will be given supervised tasks of re-drafting existing clauses, letters and e-mails throughout the courses.

At the end of the drafting course, the trainer will be available to assist students with their drafting requirements either on a weekly basis or from time to time as the need arises.
