After I returned from a birthday party for my wife's friend's kid, I started assignment of contract drafting class, which was to revise a independent contractor agreement. "Independent contractor" means someone who provides several kind of professional service to its customer who wants to outsource some task. For instance, a programmer, an engineer, a designer and of course, a lawyer is an independent contractor.
As far as I analyzed its question, the point of this assignment is likely to to draft its core articles, services and payments, as accurately as possible. I have learned lots of boilerplate clauses, so I need to pay attention to these kind of articles too. However, they do not appear to be the main issue of this homework because no specific clue regarding boilerplate clauses exists in the problem. Rather, most part of the problems are occupied by information regarding the hypothetical project our client have in mind. As a result, the volume I need to consume in the draft is not so much but it is really tough homework because I cannot find any good sample of this part in independent contractor agreements available online, which rather omits only this part. Yet I can think about it in this way-the reason why online sample does not provide this part is that we lawyer can and should provide additional value at this stage.
The good thing I felt was my improvement in writing English when I drafted memorandum for client. We are also required to submit a memorandum which works as a cover letter attached to the agreement and asks our client about open issues or unclear facts. This pretty looks like what I did when I was a Japanese lawyer. We always needed to add our comments to explain our intent why we choose the wording in the draft in a way and to ask questions to client whether that wording is good with it. While writing this part, I felt I could draft this part more smoothly than used to. I was really happy about that because I believe my study paid off.
