Introduction

The "legal or legislative drafting" is mainly concerned with the formation of a binding legal text, including laws, regulations, decisions issued by the executive authority, contracts, instruments, etc., and the drafting does not require the citation of legal grounds, and in general, it does not have any personal character.

As for the linguistic style by which all legal documents are formulated, it rarely changes. By linguistic style, what is meant is the linguistic characteristics and structures used in writing the legal document. All drafters of legal documents use almost the same features, characteristics, and linguistic structures. Hence, while the form (template) of a document differs from another, all legal documents use, in general, the same linguistic style, and this training course is concerned with the rules and methods of scientific and practical legal drafting of procedures as well as legal interpretation and analysis with practical training on them in a way that achieves the participants to acquire legal drafting skills professionally.
