Legislative Drafting Office, Jersey

First author of the paper is @qiutinsanleon, who graduated from our law school last year. Leon is a wonderful talent. He has been working with @JerseyLDO team during the past year. Keep an eye on his career because he will contribute a lot to law & legislative work in particular

The new edition of our drafting guidance is now available! If you would like to take a look, you can find it here: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/660407d0…

Our word of the month is "chocolate", which appears 8 times in primary legislation (most unexpectedly, in the name of the "Chocolate Express Omnibus Company, Limited" who are listed in the London Passenger Transport Act 1933 as undertakers of a "passenger transport undertaking"!)

Several of us volunteered with @Jerseytrees at Val de la Mare yesterday, widening paths, cutting back ivy and clearing damage from Storm Ciaran. Fallen branches were given a new purpose as ‘dead hedges’ which will become a habitat for biodiversity and prevent soil erosion.

Congratulations to our incredible LLB Double Degree student, Margaux McQuilton who has made the final shortlist in the Jersey TechAwards 2024 for her great work with @JerseyLDO. We are so proud of you Margaux! 👏 @UTCapitole #lawdegree #studylawinjersey #studentsuccess

We took interns last summer & we’re keen to do so again. An internship in legislative drafting gives a unique insight into how policy is turned into law, at the heart of how both law and government operate. One of our previous interns is now on an apprenticeship in policy-making

Jersey TechAwards shortlisted! Delighted to announce our intern Margaux McQuilton (linkedin.com/in/margaux-mcq… student at @InstofLawJersey) has been shortlisted by @DigitalJersey for her great work on our Computer-Readable Legislation Project digital.je/news-events/di…

We also have playlists for Legislative drafting software (not endorsed by LDO), our Computer-Readable Legislation Project, "Rules as Code" from other sources, and our 30th Anniversary @jerseyldo8000/playlists" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@jerseyldo8000…

@jordan_law21 You share it with a few of us others though. For us it’s the day we don’t have to explain that we’re not New Jersey 🇯🇪 🦃 #OriginalJersey

This was the subject of a very interesting and well-attended breakout session between @LucyMarshSmith1 and @simonhodgett78 at #CALCEurope this week

Team Jersey at #CALCEurope - what a brilliant conference. A packed programme, fascinating subjects and wonderful hosts!

There may have been some knowing laughter in the room when this document was handed around

A panel of expert drafters give us their top drafting tips at #CALCEurope

@Scott_Wortley giving a great talk on how he came to teach *real* statutory interpretation through getting students to draft/improve some example legislation, and involving his local legislative drafting office (PCO Scotland). Best way to do it. #CALCEurope #LegislativeDrafting

Day 2 of #CALCEurope starts with coffee, pastries and coercive control...

This was truly spine-tingling

Bro, do you even logic? Jersey's Zoë Rillstone leads #CALCEurope through a formal logic session 🤯
