Course details
Advanced Statutory Interpretation and Drafting consolidates the skills of statutory interpretation which students have previously been taught and used throughout their studies. Students will now be challenged to write statutes, supporting extrinsic documents, and other legal documents at a professional level, utilising the skills of plain English and English grammar. Students will be required to understand, discuss and anticipate the formal techniques of statutory interpretation deployed by judges when interpreting statutes, in order to write statutes which will have the intended effect. Students will be expected to demonstrate mastery of general principles of statutory interpretation, but also specific techniques, including issues such as restrospectivity, the boundaries of statutory authority, and the impact of charters of rights. Students will use these skills to prepare an assessed package of legislative materials to amend the substantive law of their choice.
