About the Book

The purpose of this book is to assist persons who have had little or no drafting experience as well as to provide a reference and explanatory material to more sophisticated legislative drafters. The purpose of a legislative drafting manual is to promote uniformity in drafting style and to make statutes clear, simple, and easy to understand and use.An introductory book such as this cannot cover all of the aspects of legislative drafting. Like many other forms of legislative work, good drafting comes with experience and knowledge, and a successful bill drafter will pursue both throughout his or her career.
