Design of Good Commercial Contracts – Practical Tools for Contract Drafters
The proactive law approach has brought attention to the fact that legal function is not the only function of the contract, and lawyers are not the only users of commercial contracts. However, a majority of managers are reluctant to read lengthy, difficult to read and understand documents; therefore, contracts underperform their functions. Research shows that in order to enhance the usability of commercial contracts, it is necessary to change the way they are designed.
The following paper aims to gather useful tools for commercial contract drafters, which help to design user-centered and usable contracts. The three main groups of methods are analyzed: page features, typography, and highlighting.
