"Peter Van Blerk, Senior Counsel practising at the Johannesburg Bar, has written Legal Drafting - Civil Proceedings in order to bridge the gap between the academic study of law and its practical application in so far as the preparation of court documents is concerned. Drawing on his experience in coaching pupils at the Bar the author explains elementary matters and poses useful reminders to the more experienced practitioners. Legal Drafting - Civil Proceedings is a practical guide to assist all junior practitioners, be they candidate attorneys or pupils at the Bar; aspirant practitioners; and teachers. It provides invaluable assistance in the preparation of pleadings and other court documents in civil proceedings."
