‘Like many people in many trades and professions – authors, journalists advertising copywriters, politicians, priests and others – the legislative draftsman, is, or must aim to be, a craftsman in the use of language.’ (Thornton, Legislative Drafting)
Designed by Professor Keith Patchett, Emeritus Professor of Law at the University of Wales, and facilitated by Roger Rose, formerly First Parliamentary Counsel in Kenya, this programme provides you with both the knowledge and the practical skills to be an effective legislative drafter. This world-renowned and highly practical programme gives you the opportunity to put into practice the legislative preparation techniques that will serve you well in supporting and developing your nation’s ongoing legislative system and programmes and building and enhancing your capability as a legislative drafting ‘craftsman.’
RIPA International are delighted to be able to deliver the Legislative Drafting Blended Learning Programme, which provides delegates with a unique distance learning experience. Differing from the traditional academic setting offered by other distance learning programmes, RIPA International’s Legislative Drafting Blended Learning programme embraces a “learning by doing” approach. Like all RIPA International courses, the online programme is designed for immediate application in the workplace. Furthermore, participants are offered crucial 1 to 1 mentoring support to assist in the progress through the Units of each module.
The Legislative Drafting Online Programme now offers a highly economical, flexible and intrinsically practical opportunity for drafting students to become legislative drafters in practice.
The blended learning programme starts with a 2 week classroom based workshop in London where participants will complete the first module before being required to complete the remaining modules within the following 9 months from their own local environment using the Online Learning Centre set up by RIPA International.
