Ken Adams in Oman!

April 8th, 2008 | Posted in Books, Events


(Ken Adams with my colleague Mohd Al Balushi)

I’ve mentioned before that I’m a reader of the awesome blog on Contract Drafting by Ken Adams, author of my all time favourite book on the same topic “A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting” (I also mentioned the book here). Well, guess what, with the help of the American Bar Association we managed to arrange for him to come to Oman to conduct a workshop exclusive for the Contracts Dept of MOLA (6 people including yours truly)! You people cannot image how cool it is for the author of one of your favourite books to come to your country and do you a training session! The event lasted for two days and we all loved it!

Highlights of the event:
1- I got my book signed!

2- We had a private test release of the latest products of the Ministry of Legal Affairs : MOLA CUPCAKES.

    That’s amazing, I’ve been meaning to ask you about that. I am glad you were able to help arrange his visit to MOLA, and I can only imagine how it would feel to meet your most favourite author in person.

    And those cupcakes are better than the cupcakes I thought government ministery employees in Arab countries get, cuz for one thing, they seem edible…

    Thanks for your reply Mo, yeah, his visit was amazing!

    The production of the MOLA cup cakes was outsourced to , lets say, a private agency – that’s why it looks nice! :P
