二十一世紀(jì)寫好合同的五十招(英漢對(duì)照)

　　Welcome to the 21st Century. Where practicing law requires us to don the garb of computers and the Internet. And where litigation is as costly as ever. Lawyer bills running $10,000 a month are not unusual in a hotly contested breach of contract lawsuit. With every word, phrase and sentence carrying the potential for winning or losing, the stakes are high. Simple logic, therefore, directs us to cautious and thoughtful drafting.

　　新世紀(jì)的到來，要求我們?cè)诜�律�?shí)踐中應(yīng)該多用電腦和互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，不過，訴訟成本還是那么地高，面對(duì)日益競(jìng)爭激烈的違約訴訟，律師每月開出1萬美元的賬單也是常有的事。合同中的每一個(gè)字，每一個(gè)詞，每一句話，都意味著潛在的輸或贏，換句話說，押在這上面下的賭注也很大，所以，在起草合同時(shí)要把握兩條原則：小心謹(jǐn)慎和深思熟慮。

　　Drafting contracts is actually one of the simple pleasures of practicing law. Just 3 years ago at this Convention I presented 50 tips for contract writing. This article updates those tips in the context of our new tools and abilities. Following these tips could result in your writing a contract so clear no one will want to litigate it, saving your client from the trials and tribulations of litigation, truly a good reason to write the contract that stays out of court.

　　然而，起草合同的確又是法律實(shí)踐中一件有意思的事兒。大約三年前，也是在這樣一個(gè)會(huì)議上，我提出了合同起草的50招。本文在那些招數(shù)的基礎(chǔ)上，結(jié)合一些新的工具和技能，推出了下面這個(gè)新版本，但愿它們能幫助你起草無可挑剔的合同，讓你的客戶免受訴訟的困擾。

　　These tips apply to writing all kinds of agreements: office leases, real estate contracts, sales agreements, employment contracts, equipment leases, prenuptial agreements. They even apply to stipulations and settlements in litigation, where you want an agreement so clear that it avoids future litigation. Wherever clarity and simplicity are important, these tips will guide you there. The Appendix provides a few sample forms to illustrate these tips.

　　這些招數(shù)適用于各種合同，比如，辦公租賃合同、不動(dòng)產(chǎn)合同、買賣合同、勞動(dòng)合同、設(shè)備租賃合同、婚前協(xié)議。同樣，如果你不想讓你在訴訟中所起草的和解條款與協(xié)議再起爭議的話，也可以參考一下這些招數(shù)。另外，通過了解這些招數(shù)，你就會(huì)明白，起草合同，清晰、的簡明是多么地重要。本文的附錄提供了一些簡單的法律文書范本，這將有助于你理解這些招數(shù)。
