Legislative Drafter’s Deskbook
A Practical Guide
By Tobias A. Dorsey
The Legislative Drafter’s Deskbook offers practical advice and insight for those engaged in legislative drafting, those more interested in policy than drafting itself, or those interested in reading and interpreting the law.
The Legislative Drafter’s Deskbook: A Practical Guide is a masterful work. It is comprehensive and exceptionally well written. It is an essential tool for anyone who drafts legislation or interprets the law.
