Abstract

This issue of the journal addresses the contentious issue of setting and maintaining standards for legislative drafting and law reform projects.

In the first instance, this is referred to as a "contentious" issue considering that both academic scholars and practitioners in the field of legislative drafting are not agreed on what constitutes uniform and universal "standards" for undertaking legislative drafting and law reform projects that apply regardless of differences in the context of national, regional, cross-country, subject-matter eccentricities.
