Legislative Drafting Office, Jersey (Channel Islands). Presentations about our office, legislative drafting and “Rules as Code”. We draft all the legislation for Jersey, which has its own parliament (the States Assembly) and legal system. We draft Laws and Regulations to be debated by the Assembly, and Orders to be made by Ministers. We draft all of Jersey’s legislation, mainly for government but also for Scrutiny Panels, backbench Assembly members and others, including amendments to proposed legislation. We are part of the States Greffe (the clerks to the Parliament), not the government or the Law Officers’ Department. We are a small but innovative drafting office, active in the Commonwealth Association of Legislative Counsel and in the global “Rules as Code” movement, looking at making the logical structure of legislation readable by computers.
