The primary objective of this webinar is to introduce lawyers and participants to the rudimentary skills for using ICT tools to perform legal research, Bill scrutiny and legislative drafting tasks.
Although, the internet and other ICT tools are accessible to lawyers, they need to be taught the skills and “method to the madness” when using these ICT tools to perform legal research and drafting assignments. So the first step is to understand how to navigate the internet while conducting legal research on drafting instructions to identify credible sources of information.Next, is the skill to identify credible sources of legislation and other legal information that will serve as precedent after a decision is made to draft a Bill. Finally, participants will be taught the skills and how to use simple Microsoft Word and other ICT tools to draft Bills and other legal documents.
The rudiments of Legislative Drafting such as the structure, syntax, and content of Legislative sentences and how to use ICT to deliver these will be taught.Examples of real life legislation and Bills that are drafted using these ICT tools will be used to teach.
