Why is legal drafting important?
Drafting is an essential element of legal procedure. Without proper drafting of documents, you cannot express your views in writing. As stated by Douglas Stoltz, legal drafting is the composition of legal instruments such as contracts, deeds, wills, and legislation. The way legal provisions are expressed, whether in a contract between two individuals or in a statute that applies to everybody can have serious consequences.

- Searching for good samples or forms
- Before drafting your documents, always look for good samples which can help you in a better understanding of the legal points then also match those points with the laws to know whether that clause is applicable or not, and if yes then how it will be applicable between the two parties.
- Check specific formatting rules
- A legal document should be well formatted as per the specifications of any given by the client or not. It should not look like a simple agreement without any formatting.
- Creating your headings and subheadings
- For better understanding and description, always write headings and subheadings which can make it easy to find out the clauses and to study them also.
- Defining important terms
- Always try to give definitions of all important terms in the agreement at the beginning of the legal draft so that once the agreement is executed the meaning should not be based on interpretation, it should be clear and concise.
- Don’t use repetitive words and phrases
- Try to avoid using repetitive words and phrases, because it makes no sense and creates confusion in the mind reader. Try to draft simply so that other parties to the agreement can understand in a better way.
- Finalizing the draft
- You should finalize the legal draft with all necessary signing of both the parties to the contract along with stamping and notarization for a good contract.
