A Practical Guide to Drafting Contracts: From Concept to Closure, Third Edition, provides detailed coverage of contract drafting from A to Z, concept to closure. Moreover, it teaches readers how to review and adapt existing contracts and forms—including those generated by AI—to create new contracts tailored to a client’s specific needs, just as lawyers frequently do in practice. Step-by-step instruction walks readers through the contract concepts and the process for drafting a wide range of agreements. In this remarkably succinct text, authors Cynthia M. Adams and Peter K. Cramer explain and illustrate the purpose of each type of provision, and address the basic principles that apply to a wide range of domestic and international transactions.
