So sayeth Black’s Law dictionary:
Outside the arcane and stupefying word of conveyancing, a [[Counterparts and Confirmations - ISDA Provision|counterparts]] clause is, more or less, a total waste of space.
 
Black’s Law dictionary has the following to say on Counterparts:
{{box|“In conveyancing. The corresponding part of an instrument; a duplicate or copy. Where an instrument of conveyance, as a lease, is executed in parts, that is, by having several copies or duplicates made and interchangeably executed, that which is executed by the grantor is usually called the "original," and the rest are "counterparts;" although, where all the parties execute every part, this renders them all originals.”}}
