Module 7: Drafting for Clients & Transactions
Memos and briefs are written for lawyers and judges. A great deal of legal writing is not: it is written for clients, counterparties and, years later, for a court that has to decide what the words meant. This module covers writing to a client, the structure of a contract, defined terms and ambiguity, what boilerplate is really doing, the ethics of drafting, and how to revise before a document goes out.
