    The course aims at familiarizing participants with the language patterns used in legal documents in English. It provides participants with the knowledge and skills needed to draft legal texts, such as Policies & Procedures in contracts and agreements etc. which require the utmost attention to ensure the production of accurate legal documents, based on what Karl Llewellyn says “The essence of our lawyer’s craft lies in skills ...; in practical, effective, persuasive, inventive skills for getting things done.” The participants learn to understand a large number of document types and gradually become familiar with their relevant terminology and standard phrases.

    Furthermore, the course presents an elaborated overview of the sources of information that Lawyers and Non-Lawyers Drafters would find useful.
