I mentioned Ken Adams' book 'A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting' and an article by him on translating English language contracts in 2004.
Ken has a website which includes a blog and a list of articles with links to them. His latest blog entry introduces a New Law Review article by himself and Alan S.
