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 offers training seminars on legislative drafting. Information is posted on the Duncan Lawyers website soon – alternatively, contact us on 9602 5226 for further information.
Newsletters
We produce a newsletter dealing with the processes of making legislation: Legislation Newsletter.
The current issue (July 2010) raises the fundamental question: “why regulate”? The question is important in an environment where the private sector is providing basic services.
Another fundamental question (we don't avoid the hard questions!): who does the regulating – legislators or the decision-makers who use powers conferred by the Act?
Also in the July issue: the UK Guidance on Regulation –who is this guidance for?
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 asked these questions in our June 2009 Legislation Newsletter.
