Contract Drafting – the Million Dollar Comma Case and Kenneth Adams

Further to Simon Fodden’s post below on plain language drafting, Michael Rappaport has a nice article here in the current The Lawyer’s Weekly (Canada) interviewing Kenneth Adams, the author of a Manual of Style for Contract Drafting (2004) and other material on legal drafting.

The article discusses, among other things, the so-called “million dollar comma case” discussed previously on SLAW (here).

In fact, the article led me to check that Adams has his own (consulting) website on legal drafting at http://adamsdrafting.com and his own blog here.

All good stuff, particularly the point made by Adams in the article in The Lawyer’s Weekly that law schools do not do a proper job of teaching legal drafting.
