Frequently asked questions

What is legislative drafting?

Writing laws, regulations, bylaws and policies so they are clear, consistent and enforceable. It is a core skill for government legal departments.

How is this different from the contract management courses?

Contract courses cover drafting and managing commercial agreements. These courses cover wider legal skills: legislation, legal opinions, company law, litigation and arbitration.

Are the courses suitable for non-lawyers?

Some topics, such as arbitration and legal risk, suit managers and contracts staff. Legislative drafting is designed for legal professionals.
