"Legal or legislative drafting" primarily involves creating a binding legal text, including laws, regulations, executive orders, contracts, and other legal instruments. This form of drafting does not require citation of legal sources and generally lacks a personal tone.
The linguistic style used for drafting legal documents rarely changes. This style comprises the linguistic features and structures used in writing legal documents. Legal document drafters typically use the same linguistic characteristics and structures, meaning that while the format may differ between documents, the overall linguistic style remains consistent. This training course focuses on the scientific and practical rules and methods of legal drafting, legal interpretation, and analysis, with practical exercises designed to help participants acquire professional legal drafting skills.
