RegulatoryWriting

• Effective writing is a skill and all skills require practice. • Fortunately, much regulatory writing is readily given to standard forms and formats – use them where practical and to the extent possible. • Always proof read, checking for grammar and spelling – do not trust the word processing software:

• It shouldn’t be taken for granite; • It doesn’t knowwhen to quiet; • It’s not a good tooter.

Practical Tips

• Complex writing requires planning • Make an outline • Issue (Topic) • Rule • Statutory authority of agency • Statutory/regulatory provision at issue • Facts • Analysis • Conclusion
