View Event Details:

This session will address the many forms adverbs can take within statutory writing, why adverbs are among the most common causes of statutory ambiguity and how a behavior unique to adverbs and adverb phrases makes them act like torpedoes that sink your provisions. The presentation is directed to editors and drafters, but no one needs to be a grammarian to attend.
