This LLM dissertation examines the responsibility of the legislative drafter, acting beyond the narrow definition, to contribute to effective law-making processes capable of delivering effective legislation. The author aims to show that the drafter in Papua New Guinea, applying Thornton’s Five Stages of drafting and utilizing certain available tools, can contribute to creating effective legislation. The arguments in this paper lead to the conclusion that the drafter in Papua New Guinea has to be very much dynamic, as the field and practice, is a dynamic process. It is fluid in that the practice is not static and completely systematic.
