Legal Drafting at Rana Ijaz & Associates is a type of technical writing used by lawyers, judges, legislators, and others in law to express legal analysis and legal rights and duties. Legal drafting places heavy reliance on authority. It includes enacted law like statutes, rules, and regulations; contracts (private and public); personal legal documents like wills and trusts; and public legal documents like notices and instructions.

Although preparing an effective legal document is not an easy task, it is not as arcane a task as many people believe it to be. Many of the principles of preparing legal documents are the same as the principles of good writing that apply to any written work. Other principles are specific to the practice of law.

A good rule of thumb when preparing a legal document is to pretend that it is being presented as evidence in court and that the opposing lawyer is trying to twist your words to make them appear to mean something other than what you intended.
