The Certificate course on Legislative Drafting by National Law University, Jodhpur is designed by experienced legal professionals to provide professionals, government officers and young lawyers with a strong foundation in legal drafting. The course attempts to build skills in legislative drafting (both primary and secondary legislation) and drafting and pleadings for civil, criminal, and constitutional proceedings.
The most effective officers and lawyers are those who actively implement strategies to improve their drafting skills. Drafting requires a host of skills to be effective. Officers and lawyers need to have in-depth knowledge of the law, the ability to express abstract concepts, investigative instincts and the ability to foresee the future, and organisational skills. Thus, drafting is one of the most intellectually demanding skills lawyers require.
Hence we bring an enhanced course on legislative drafting which not only focuses on the theory of effective drafting guidelines, and plain language drafting but also provides relevant formats to assist in understanding the practical application of concepts and developing necessary skills for drafting legal documents and documents which can have legal consequences. The course is intended for all learners who desire to improve their ability to draft sharp and clear legal documents. The course is also designed to provide a basic introduction to statutory interpretation, which makes the drafting free of any ambiguity and helps avoid unnecessary litigations.
