Abstract
This article explores the process of professionalizing legal drafting in Commonwealth Africa. It is argued that, in view of the centralized drafting system, the linguistic skill of the legal drafter must be complemented by the skill of the administrative or departmental officials to provide policy and substantive inputs in the drafting of Bills. The object of this article is to draw attention to the need for the systematic training of administrators so as to prepare them effectively for their role of contributing the legislative policy and the substantive input in the legal drafting process, especially as regards the formulation of accurate drafting instructions.
