The practical law course is regrettably not the most practical course around.
We have a ton of classes on plain language for lawyers, where they teach you to avoid using words like:
- implement - replace with carry out/ fulfil
- indicate - replace with show, tell, say.
- initiate - replace with begin
Incidentally, the instruction manual says OMIT "herewith." And line 1 of the Plain English Drafting Exercise booklet reads " herewith are the papers for the above exercise."

omg i totally did not realize they'd done that. this can only mean that you have actually combed through the materials with a fine-toothed comb!
I did not comb through the materials. The inconsistencies are just so blatant they jump out at you.
