This course is concerned with the drafting of legislation in the Anglophone legal systems of the common law in general and England and Wales in particular. It aims to provide participants with practical experience as well as theoretical insight into the mechanics of turning proposals for legal change into effective legislation and the difficulties associated with the drafting process. Using a blend of ‘learning by doing’ and supportive guidance, students may acquire the skills needed to develop their chosen legislative project over the course of the teaching sessions from an outline idea to draft statutory form. Against the background of drafting manuals and rules of interpretation, specific instruction will guide students through fundamental drafting matters such as issues of style, problems of stipulation (such as questions of time and definitions), and the formulation of rules creating powers, duties or offences. |
