"Legal Drafting in a Nutshell, 5th Edition, provides guidance on producing transactional documents, contracts, instruments, legislation, and regulations that solve existing problems and prevent future problems. The book provides both a large scale, macro overview of the drafting process as well as small scale, micro focused discussion of the mechanics of legal documents at the sentence, word, and punctuation level. The book incorporates current and developing perspectives regarding subjects like plain English, legal typography, and document preparation in the 21st century. This is especially the case in sections of the text dealing with contracts and instruments, although it is true throughout the text. Legal drafting is as much a thought process as a writing process; clear thinking leads to clear drafting. This book is a guide for clear, structured thinking about drafting in order to provide readers with a structured process to follow when assembling useful legal documents." - publish…

Using his extensive knowledge of the law and contracts, veteran attorney R.J. Spjut provides a valuable framework for identifying risks in most transactions and the contractual terms and conditions used to allocate and manage those risks. Unlike other texts in this area, Transaction Risk provides a systematic description of transaction risks and the applicable contractual terms that are used to manage them. According to Spjut, "I started to think about how you would teach young associates about transaction risk. I would sit in meetings and wonder if anyone knows what they're talking about when discussing risk." This is the answer to that question, a useful introduction for the newer attorney as well as a resource for the more seasoned practitioner.
