This book constitutes the first thorough academic analysis of legislative drafting. By placing the study of legislation and its principles within the paradigm of Flyvberg's phronetic social sciences, it offers a novel approach which breaks the tradition of unimaginative past descriptive reiterations of drafting conventions. Instead of prescribing rules for legislation, it sets out to identify efficacy as the main aim of the actors in the policy, legislative and drafting processes, and effectiveness as the main goal in the drafting of legislation. Through the prism of effectiveness as synonymous with legislative quality, the book explores the stages of the drafting process; guides the reader through structure and sections in their logical sequence, and introduces rules for drafting preliminary, substantive and final provisions. Special provisions, comparative legislative drafting and training for drafters complete this thorough analysis of the drafting of legislation as a tool for regulation. Instead of teaching the reader which drafting rules prevail, the book explores the reasons why drafting rules have come about, thus encouraging readers to understand what goal is served by each rule and how each rule applies. The book is aimed at academics and practitioners who draft or use statutory law in the common or civil law traditions.

From the Author:
Helen Xanthaki is Professor of Law and Legislative Drafting and Director of Research Studies at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies of the University of London, and the Academic Director of the Sir William Dale Centre for Legislative Studies there.
Review:
Drafting Legislation is a formidable work. It is detailed, it is comprehensive, and, although dense in content, is a worthwhile read for the information it presents. Prof. Xanthaki has made an outstanding contribution to advancing what she correctly labels as the art and science of drafting. It is indispensable work for those serious about drafting legislation.
Theory and Practice of Legislation

This book is a new project that brings together a decade or more of teaching, research and practice to analyse the function, objectives and ideas of legislative drafting. ... the book certainly deserves to go to further editions .... Scholarship and wisdom in this excellent book... Its breadth of learning and its depth of practical wisdom should ensure that it becomes a standard reference book for drafting students and drafting practitioners alike. It deserves a permanent place on drafters' bookshelves alongside their favourite dictionary, their thesaurus, their prized books on writing techniques, and their well-thumbed Thornton.
Public Law

The book is published in an auspicious moment, with the Cabinet Office and the Office of Parliamentary Counsel currently running a Good Law initiative ... In part, this book might be seen as an advertisement for such a course (in legislative drafting) and it will be for those who read it to see whether they wish to take up the challenge.
