內(nèi)容概要
本書可能幫助你解決或避免諸如此類的問題。它提出好的法律寫作的特點(diǎn)是精確、明晰、簡短、簡潔和語氣職業(yè)化。它詳述了寫作的過程特別是其中涉及的諸多具體問題,包括如何開頭、如何確定寫作的內(nèi)容、如何選擇正確的概念、怎樣組織結(jié)構(gòu)、怎樣避免模糊、寫作的風(fēng)格和慣用語、如何定義、產(chǎn)生法律后果的用語以及當(dāng)法律寫作造成模棱兩可時(shí)所適用的法律解釋規(guī)則等。同時(shí)單獨(dú)討論了合同和立法文件的寫作以及用計(jì)算機(jī)寫作和寫作的道德等問題。本書大量使用了包括以上所引范例在內(nèi)的生動例子,同時(shí)語言刻意淺顯易懂,因而非常適合具有一定英語基礎(chǔ)的法學(xué)院學(xué)生和包括律師面人的法律從業(yè)人員閱讀。 本書為如何進(jìn)行法律寫作提供了大綱,并告訴律師們?nèi)绾文軡M足客戶的要求,解決現(xiàn)存的問題,避免將來可能會產(chǎn)生的問題等。本書內(nèi)容權(quán)威,詳細(xì)介紹了一般的寫作過程,并告訴你如何開始的訣竅。而且還介紹了法律寫作的概要,如何選擇正確的概念,如何避免含糊其詞以及起草的原則等。本書并不是像一般的寫作書那樣,只是向你提供一些寫作的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)格式,而是告訴你寫作中的要素,讓你在寫作中表現(xiàn)出自己的特色。本書不僅是一本寫作書,從這本書里你還可以學(xué)到最新的寫作指南,讓你的寫作更切實(shí)際、更準(zhǔn)確。

章節(jié)摘錄
7. Signature Blocks This provides a place for the parties and witnesses, if any, to sign. Type the name and title below the signature line. Signatures should not be on a separate page; include some of the text of the contract on the page on which the signatures appear. In addition, on extremely important documents, the parties should initial each page at the bottom. 8. Date If the date was not included in the lead paragraph, include it here. 9. Notarization If the contract is to be notarized, the notarys statement, signature, and seal come last. 10. An Appendix Many complex commercial, financial, and corporate contracts include an appendix containing exhibits and schedules. An exhibit usually consists of a document that is relevant to, but not a part of, the agreement itself. In a multi-party transaction, the contract between Acme Corporation and Beta Corporation may build on or interface with the contract between Beta Corporation and Charlie Corporation, which would thus be attached as an exhibit to the Acme/Beta contract. A schedule, on the other hand, is properly a part of the agreement. It may consist of a list of persons to whom certain notices must be sent, important but incredibly tedious technical data, computation formula, and even standard boilerplate provisions promulgated by government regulation or industry trade groups. The appendix should have its own table of contents and be consecutively paginated, even if some of the inclosed documents have their own original pagination.
