Legal functionaries saddled with the responsibilities of drafting and producing legal documents need to know and apply the principles underlying the production of such documents. Legal documents seek to effectively account for the facts and law that can impact the parties to a document. The lawyer’s role in “drafting” a legal document is to ensure they identify all the relevant facts and laws and then apply them to prepare a document that accomplishes their client’s goals.

Legal documents are typically a set of instructions for others to follow to fulfil the intent of one or more parties to the document. Clear, complete, and functional instructions promote the client’s goals. This course has been designed to teach the participants contemporary principles of legal drafting. Individuals and organizations require conducive legal environments, supported by reliable legal documents for effective performance.
