With A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Kenneth A. Adams has created a uniquely in-depth survey of the building blocks of contract language. First published in 2004, it offers those who draft, review, negotiate, or interpret contracts an alternative to the dysfunction of traditional contract language and the inertia and flawed conventional wisdom that perpetuate it. This manual has become a vital resource throughout the legal profession, in the United States and internationally.

This updated edition contains almost one hundred pages of new material addressing many topics, making it even more authoritative and essential. This manual's focus remains how to express contract terms in prose that is free of the archaisms, redundancies, ambiguities, and other problems that afflict traditional contract language. With exceptional analysis and an unmatched level of practical detail, Mr. Adams highlights common sources of confusion and recommends clearer and more concise alternatives. This manual is organized to facilitate easy reference, and it illustrates its analysis with numerous examples. Consult it to save time in drafting and negotiation and to reduce the risk of dispute.

Changed my professional life This book made a tremendous difference to me as a practicising attorney. The insight into what each sentence in a will or trust (albeit not typical contracts) is awesome. Highly recommended.Clarity! At last. I really like Ken Adams’ blog for drafting tips, so I finally decided to get his book. Now, if only I could convince other attorneys I work with or against to use it too, rather than their loyalty to confusing old templates...An excellent resource for any attorney drafting any sort of agreement (and probably litigators too, for interpretation). Ken uses court cases to back up his claims which makes it a handy reference tool as well, though ymmv on convincing other (USAmerican) attorneys that best efforts really isn’t substantially better than commercially reasonable efforts (but you know what’s better still? Actual clarity and guidance! But so many attorneys still prefer the shortcut and vague insinuation of ‘best efforts’; ah well).Pick it up. It’s the resource you need to supplement those Contract Law classes that never got around to teaching you how to draft an actual contract.A great book on what you need to know about contract writing and reviewing Very thorough contract style guide for contracts. So many other books touch on a few items, but the author goes in depth on each topic of contracts. Great read!
