Legislation has traditionally been viewed as a text addressed to
and used by lawyers and judges. But with enhanced accessibility via
electronic publication of legislation in many Commonwealth
jurisdictions, drafters "speak" not only to lawyers and judges, but
also to untrained users. This shift of the legislative audience has
changed radically the requirements for legislation and its
drafting. This is crucially important as the quality of legislation
within the Commonwealth remains an essential element of democracy
and the rule of law.
The book aims to alert policy officers, legal officers, law
reformers, and drafters of the many innovations in the drafting of
legislation within the Commonwealth. And ultimately to bring to
light the academic foundations of the modern approach to
legislative quality, which really boils down to effectiveness of
the legislative product.
This book was based on a special issue of Commonwealth Law
Bulletin.
