Guidelines for Drafting and Editing Legislation

Not enjoying the format. Doesn't seem much like a text, so much as like a critique of different examples. Maybe my review will change on a closer look, but as I'm being asked for a review, that's my current assessment. And, to be honest, it's not enticing me to read it because of the format. If I had seen it in a bookstore before buying, it would have gone right back on the shelf.

Another fantastic book from Garner. Chock full of fantastic guidance and an entertaining read.

An essential resource for anyone seeking to draft legislation that is concise, lucid, and instructive so the reader will have no need stray from the enacted text in the interpretive process.

Garner rocks!!

its just the same as his other books on "how to write" - nothing to do with legislation

Loved the format of examples of what or how to write a law or opinion contrasted with an opposing passage of a better why of writing it. The many examples including editing of entire statutes demonstrates the value of clear, distinct and clear writing. This book will benefit legal composition and also the general public who must make heads of tails of laws. Highly recommended for non-legal writers.
