| Abstract | Law students, trainees and even junior lawyers generally find the drafting
of commercial agreements difficult. In this paper, the author examines
the performance of different groups of students in agreement drafting in
the Postgraduate Certificate in Laws (PCLL) course at the University of
Hong Kong, and shares some of her insights and experiences in teaching
agreement drafting. The author argues that the major problems of the
students lie as much in their unfamiliarity with legal practice and their
habits in rote learning, as their insensitivity to the English language.
The author also discusses the measures to be adopted to address these
problems. |
