This is one of those rare useful law school texts. I could see myself keeping this and going back to it after I graduate and get out into practice.
This book is a text for teaching Contract Drafting that fills its intended purpose very well. I recommend it highly to individuals just learning contracts.
If you have experience drafting contracts or want to improve your contract drafting skills, then I recommend Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Second Edition by Ken Adams.
The majority of law books on the market today add more confusion and fog to understanding basic legal principles. “Hide-the-ball” as opposed to “this is how you solve this type of problem” seems to be the status quo. As my first year property law professor once said, “the moment you solve a legal problem for you client is the moment you stop getting paid.” So, you can understand why most attorneys and “legal experts” play hide-the-ball. Also, one major reason for the large quantity of litigation clogging our civil courtrooms is due to poor legal drafting.
In “Drafting Contracts,” author Tina L. Stark provides the best “How To” guide on the market today for drafting and understanding contracts in the United States. Ms. Stark has checklists, examples, and step-by-step instructions of how to draft a preventive legal document.
Highly reccomended.
