So, we are grateful to Mr. Adams, and full-bloodedly raise our glass in salute to him — it is no small matter to dedicate 27 pages to why one should write “states” rather than “represents and warrants” in a [[contract]] and, even then, not entirely make out your case<ref>Interested readers can enjoy Mr. Adams’ disquisition [https://www.adamsdrafting.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Adams-Eliminating-the-Phrase-Represents-and-Warrants-from-Contracts.pdf 27-page here]</ref> — but it’s a sound ice-breaker should you be stuck next to someone dull at the ABA’s annual contract draftsperson’s gala dinner, as has happened to the [[JC]] before.<ref>Of course, I am kidding.

Mr. Adams has able, if [[tedious]], views on the appropriateness of the word “[[shall]]” in contractual drafting, and can refute all seven possible justifications for a [[successors and assigns]] clause. In a scrape, here is a man you would be glad to have in your corner. Whether he wants to be there or not, we claim him for ours. | Mr. Adams has able, if [[tedious]], views on the appropriateness of the word “[[shall]]” in contractual drafting, and can refute all seven possible justifications for a [[successors and assigns]] clause.
