【正文】 ions. These can be used as the starting point for drafting the contract or as ecklists of typical provisions and ing to include in the contract. Many treatises and form books now e with forms on disk or CDROM. 。附錄A就是一個簡單、典型的合同它提供了一個合同的根本支架。除非一方當事人在法定上就是承包人否那么不要將承包人作為其別稱。比方：撰寫勞動合同時列出的標題詞就像下面這些： 引述語 聘用 職責 限 賠償 14. plete ea paragraph by writing the contract terms that apply to that paragraph. This is simple. You learned this in elementary sool. Just explain in s what the parties agree to do or not do paragraph by paragraph. 。假設你將一個概念重復地解釋那理解起來就更有困難。 18. Write in short sentences. Short sentences are easier to understand than long ones. 。假設是修飾兩個詞可以用排比的手法分別在這兩個詞之前加上修飾語假設你只想修飾一個名詞那么你就應該把這個詞放在這組詞的最后然后在它的前面加上修飾語。這將減少一些不經意的錯誤。合同文書不是創(chuàng)造性的作品也就不能因為意思的細微差異而引起考慮或爭。不要擔憂這會讓讀者打瞌睡；你應該提防的是對方律師會因為模糊不清的合同而將你告上法庭。 34. Explain tenical terms and concepts. Remember that the parties might understand tenical jargon, but the judge and jury who interpret and apply the contract do not. Therefore, explain the contract’s terms and concepts within the contract itself. Let the contract speak for itself from within its four corners. 。通常情況下只要你花時間來起草合同你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)真正的風險在哪里。你的客戶讀第一稿可以確保你的起草的東西和客戶的愿望相符?！?43. pare the current version to prior versions. If you save draft versions, it is very easy to pare one version to another using the processor’s pare feature or using the pareRite puter program. When you pare to , save the parison as and print it to show the client what anges were made. 。 46. Sign the contract in blue ink, not black ink. This, too, will make it easier to differentiate the signed original contract from photocopies. 46. 用藍墨水而不是用黑墨水來簽署合同因為藍墨水可以很容易地讓人區(qū)別出哪個是合同正本哪個是影印副本。內容總結（1）你的客戶讀第一稿可以確保你的起草的東西和客戶的愿望相符。 48. Identify the parties and witnesses who sign by providing blank lines below their signature lines for their printed names and addresses. This will make it easier to find the witnesses if the contract is contested. And remember to include two witnesses for mercial leases. 。當你用軟件比較和兩個版本時將軟件的分析結果打印出來送給客戶看讓他知道變化在哪里。假設你將第一稿合同存了兩份在電腦中那么其中的一份可以用來存檔另一份那么可以用來繼續(xù)修改。如今這類專業(yè)的軟件甚至可以幫你檢測到合同中沒有釋義的術語如：Corel專門為法律辦公開發(fā)的文字處理軟件包中的DealProof軟件還有可供97和2000安裝的DocProofReader軟件。所以撰寫合同時要讓合同自己為自己釋義。 32. Define a by capitalizing it and putting it in quotes. Capitalizing a indicates that you intend it to have a special meaning. The following are two sample clauses for defining terms: Wherever used in this contract, the Goods shall mean the goods that Buyer has agreed to purase from Seller under this hereby agrees to purase from Seller ten (10) frying pans, hereinafter called the Goods. ：加上雙引并將其開頭的字母大寫。你可能學過許多不同類的文法和標點符規(guī)那么但在使用它們時保持一致。因此要使用普通的詞語,表達普通的意思為普通人撰寫合同。除非你可以列出所有被包括的項否那么用但不限于....的分句來說明你只是想舉個例子。這對一個租賃合同來說是些不好的別稱因為他們容易被顛倒或者出現(xiàn)打印錯誤。相對而言主動語態(tài)的句子更簡短措詞更精練表達更明白。What to Wat Out for When Writing 第三部分：撰寫時的本卷須知 17. Title it Contract. Do not leave this one to ance. If your client wants a contract, call it a contract. A judge now sitting on the federal ben once ruled that a document entitled Proposal was not a contract even though signed by both parties. The lesson learned is, Say what you mean. If you intend the document to be a legally binding contract, use the Contract in the title. 合同兩字。 they are easily forgotten. Also keep your client’s outline and other forms in front of you as you write, and eck off items as you write them. 。 11. Include a blank for the date in the first paragraph. Putting the date in the first paragraph makes it easy to find after the contract is signed. It also makes it easy to describe the contract in other documents in a precise way, su as the December 20, 2000, Contract for Sale of Real Estate. 。 8. State the correct legal names of the parties in the first paragraph. As obvious as this is, it is one of the most mon problems in contracts
