Making
Legislation
The legislation cycle & public consultation
Campbell Duncan was a presenter at seminars in eastern Indonesia in 2005 and 2008. In the above scene he is presenting a session on the legislation cycle and public consultation (Lombok, 2008).
Legislative drafting training
No-one said it was meant to be easy! Legislative drafting is a task which requires many skills. Not the least of these is an ability to identify and express the policy objectives of the proposed law.
Increasingly, also, it is important for legislative drafters to have knowledge of consultation, approval and certification requirements.
Duncan Lawyers will be conducting a series of training seminars on legislative drafting. More will be posted on the Duncan Lawyers website soon – alternatively, contact us on 9601 4199 for further information.
Newsletters
We produce a newsletter dealing with the processes of making legislation: Legislation Newsletter.
The current issue (November 2009) asks whether it is possible to consider the administration of legislation without considering also the legislation itself. The issue is not theoretical – the Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commission has been asked to do just this.
What is legislation?
Legislation is law made by a law making body — but that proposition does not take matters far. What is a law making body, and what does it make? We ask (although not necessarily answer) these questions in our June 2009 Legislation Newsletter
