Teaching Legislative Drafting In Law School: A Model Course, Robert J. Hopperton

Duquesne Law Review

Law Schools traditionally have failed to provide adequate instruction in legislative drafting and this failure has been the subject of recent criticism. The author, a teacher of legal writing, advances for consideration his model course in legislative drafting as a means of increasing writing abilities and applying analytical skills. The author discusses the operation of his course and has included many of the materials he has developed for use in the course.
