Distinguish between the following: (a) Drafting and Documentation

Drafting may be defined as the synthesis of law and fact in a language form. It is the development and preparation of legal instruments such as constitutions, statutes, regulations, ordinances, contracts, wills, conveyances, indentures, trusts and leases, etc. The process of drafting operates in two planes: the conceptual and the verbal. Besides seeking the right words, the draftsman seeks the right concepts. Drafting, therefore, is first thinking and second composing. Drafting may cover all types of documents in business usages. Drafting, in legal sense, means an act of preparing the legal documents like agreements, contracts, deeds etc. Commercial houses, banks and financial institutions have been using the term "documentation" in substitution of the words "drafting and conveyancing". Documentation refers to the activity which symbolizes preparation of documents including finalisation and execution thereof. Documentation is a set of documents provided on paper, or online, or on digital or analog media, such as audio tape or CDs. Examples are user guides, white papers, on-line help, quick-reference guides. Proper documentation provides evidence of what has transpired as well as provides information for researching discrepancies. Supporting documentation may come in paper or electronic form.
