Professionalizing Legislative Drafting: A Realistic Goal?, Reed Dickerson
Professionalizing Legislative Drafting: A Realistic Goal?, Reed Dickerson
Articles by Maurer Faculty
The teaching of skills that result in sound legislative drafting is neglected in law schools, and professionalism in legislative drafting is lacking on both the federal and state fronts. With the adoption by the American Bar Association of seven major principles relating to the drafting of federal legislation, perhaps there is more hope now that there will be a move toward professionalism.
Statutory Interpretation: The Uses And Anatomy Of Context, Reed Dickerson
Statutory Interpretation: The Uses And Anatomy Of Context, Reed Dickerson
Articles by Maurer Faculty
Every communication that is generated by a written instrument consists of two elements which must be considered in arriving at the meaning of the communication. Those elements are: (1) the written vehicle itself, and (2) its surrounding context. The surrounding context which thus completes the communication consists only of those underlying cultural aspects which, when considered in relation to the written vehicle, are: (1) relevant to the written vehicle, (2) reliable, (3) shared by the author and the audience, and (4) relied on by both author and audience to complete the communication. The author suggests that those cultural elements which …

Automation And The Lawyer, F. Reed Dickerson
Automation And The Lawyer, F. Reed Dickerson
Articles by Maurer Faculty
Computers and automation have brought about what some have called the "Second Industrial Revolution." But automation is most frequently considered and discussed as it applies to industry or to scientific research. In this article, Professor Dickerson points out that lawyers, too, are already greatly affected by the age of automation. Computers can probably be most useful to lawyers in the area of research, but as the writer indicates, they can and are being used for such diverse things as estate planning, legislative redistricting and predicting in advance the outcome of judicial decisions.
The Diseases Of Legislative Language, Reed Dickerson
The Diseases Of Legislative Language, Reed Dickerson
Articles by Maurer Faculty
In this article Professor Dickerson examines some of the most basic problems facing the legislative draftsman in his attempt to obtain clarity in statutes. He discusses the "diseases" of ambiguity, over-vagueness, over-precision, over- and under-generality and obesity, and distinguishes them from useful devices with which they are often confused.

The Electronic Searching Of Law, Reed Dickerson
The Electronic Searching Of Law, Reed Dickerson
Articles by Maurer Faculty
Although the use of electronic computers in legal research has not yet been perfected, Professor Dickerson believes that computers may be at least a partial answer to the problem created by the ever-increasing mass of statutory material and judicial decisions that must be consulted to determine the law on a given point. He explains just how the computers are used in legal research and points out their limitations as well as their advantages. [For a general discussion of this subject, the reader is referred to the article, "Prepare Now for Machine-Assisted Legal Research", by Roy N. Freed, 47 A.B.A.J. 764 …
