Principles of Legislative and Regulatory Drafting provides a succinct guide to an area of law and practice which has previously been poorly served by English textbooks. It explains how drafters can convert legislative and regulatory policy into a form which has the desired effect in the most direct and accessible way. On the basis that those who seek to communicate must be conscious of how their words will be read, it includes a chapter on interpretation. Other chapters include the nature of drafting instructions (including ethical considerations), the general principles of drafting, the protection of human rights, the creation of statutory corporations and schemes of licensing, subordinate legislation, and the creation of criminal offences. The principles and skills of drafting are very largely common to both the legislative and regulatory fields, but the book draws attention to areas in which significant differences arise. Extracts from the Interpretation Act 1978 and the European Convention on Human Rights are included as Appendices. The book provides an invaluable introduction for those engaged in legislative and regulatory drafting, while also being useful to anyone who is interested in the creation and interpretation of legislative and regulatory texts.

Water supply is an extremely contentious resource issue in California and the West. The framework currently used to resolve these issues, however, is based on the legal system that arose in response to the 1849 Gold Rush, and on which California and other Western states modeled their laws. In "Golden Rules: The Origins of California Water Law in the Gold Rush," Mark Kanazawa mines a vast cache of previously untapped historical sources both to tell the story of California s water laws and to shed light on how institutions and economies develop in relation to each other. The Gold Rush was a massive shock to the California economy and provides a unique opportunity in which to observe largely unfettered economic and cultural forces giving rise to rapid and dramatic changes in laws. Kanazawa draws on the latest scholarship in law and economics, property law, and new institutional economics, in combination with a great deal of evidence, to describe and interpret the water law doctrine that emerged from 1850s California. Seen through the lens of water development and property law, "Golden Rules" provides a coherent framework within which to understand much of what is observed in terms of institutional developments, and the activities governed by those, during the Gold Rush."
