: AdamsDrafting?Shall??Once More Unto the Breach
By Ken Adams
I’ve learned that Twitter can serve as an early-warning system. Thanks to a Twitter update by Lance Goddard?he of the blog Are You Writing This Down?I learned that Jay Shepherd had posted on his blog The Client Revolution this item recommending that one run a mile from shall.
I took the liberty of posting this comment on Jay’s blog saying that for purposes of business contracts, I’ve concluded that using shall, as opposed to must or will, is the least-bad alternative. I explain my position exhaustively?exhaustingly??in chapter 2 of MSCD, as well as in this article. And I discuss shall in this November 2008 blog post and this June 2008 blog post.
Given that mastery of verb use is essential to control of your contract language, I expect this won’t be the last time I revisit shall.
