 What legal drafting means—

 The documents we draft can create the facts that trigger the legal
response our client desires. This is the essence of drafting and the function
of the “transactional” lawyer. We manipulate facts to achieve a
predictable and planned legal result.
 “Legal” documents seek to effectively account for the facts and law that
can impact the parties to a document. The lawyer’s role in “drafting” a
legal document is to ensure they identify all the relevant facts and law and
then apply them to prepare a document that accomplishes their client’s
goals. Legal documents are typically a set of instructions for others to
follow in an effort to fulfill the intent of one or more parties to the
document. Clear, complete, and functional instructions promote the
client’s goals.

 Drafting Basics
 To draft effective documents you must:
 – Understand the client’s goals.
 – Identify the issues triggered by the project.
 – Research the law concerning the issues.
