Synopsis

Excerpt from The Preparation of Contracts and Conveyances: With Forms and Problems

The practical suggestions and forms here given for the preparation of legal documents are not intended to enable the business man, the banker or the notary to draw documents or to dispense with competent legal advice. They are intended primarily for the law student for study and the lawyer for ready reference, but they should also be useful to the student of business law and the business man as a warning of the pitfalls which beset him in business transactions and the precautions that should be taken. No book has heretofore been prepared as a basis for a course in the drafting and criticism of actual business forms. Simple forms, problems and exercises are given as materials for practice.

The only effective way to learn the art of drafting is by practical exercises which require the actual preparation of the various sorts of contracts, notes, deeds, wills, mortgages, leases and other documents in everyday use. Exercises in the organization of corporations, partnerships and business trusts and in the examination of abstracts of title are also given.

The idea is to give a series of concise, practical suggestions and directions as to what to do and what to avoid, rather than to discuss the law of the subject. A glance at the book will serve as a reminder of important points to be covered at the critical moment when an instrument is being drawn up or a printed form considered.
