Payne Group, the software training and development company, has incorporated into the Numbering Assistant, its enumeration software, the recommendations made in Ken Adams’s A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting regarding enumeration and layout of blocks of contract text. It does so by offering the two versions of the MSCD numbering scheme as built-in Numbering Assistant numbering schemes (“MSCD Articles” and “MSCD Sections”).
This arrangement has made it much easier for drafters to adopt MSCD‘s recommendations regarding layout. That’s why Koncision offers two versions of its templates, one of them formatted using The Numbering Assistant. As a bonus, The Numbering Assistant also makes it much easier to create a table of contents for a contract.
For any organization looking for greater efficiency and consistency in its contract drafting, a good place to start would be to install the Numbering Assistant and require that all drafters use it to apply the MSCD scheme.
A perpetual license to the Numbering Assistant costs $78; students and faculty are entitled to a 10% discount. If you’d like a free 30-day trial, click here to send an email to PayneGroup. If you’re a student or faculty member, please specify your school. (Koncision isn’t being paid to promote The Numbering Assistant and won’t receive any commissions on sales.)
