Good legal drafting is judged clause by clause — whether an indemnity actually shifts the risk you intended, whether a force majeure clause covers the scenario you're worried about, whether the jurisdiction clause even names a court that can enforce the agreement. The Beep Legal Drafting Expert assessment tests whether you can read and reason about these clauses correctly, not recite legal theory.
The questions work through the anatomy of a standard agreement: what the recitals ('Whereas') clause is meant to establish, what an indemnity clause primarily does, and when a force majeure clause actually excuses non-performance. You'll be tested on why a severability clause protects the rest of an agreement if one clause is struck down, what a jurisdiction clause specifies, and what 'consideration' means in contract law. There are also practical questions on when a legal notice is issued, what a non-compete clause restricts, what boilerplate clauses typically cover, and why plain-language drafting is preferred over dense legalese.
The assessment takes about seven minutes and is scored automatically. Your certificate has a unique ID that can be verified on Beep's verification page. Beep is backed by Shark Tank India, Google for Startups, Microsoft for Startups and AWS, with over 1 lakh people certified across 300+ fields.

Certified Legal Drafting Expert certification FAQs
Do I need a law degree to take this certification?
No formal qualification is required. The assessment tests practical understanding of common contract clauses that many non-lawyers — founders, contract managers, procurement staff — also need to grasp.
Does the assessment cover litigation or only drafting?
It is focused on drafting: how clauses are constructed and what they achieve. It touches on legal notices as a pre-litigation step but does not test courtroom procedure or litigation strategy.
How does this differ from Beep's Corporate Lawyer certification?
Legal Drafting Expert is scoped narrowly to contract clauses and drafting quality. Corporate Lawyer covers a broader range of corporate legal topics beyond just drafting, including company law and governance concepts.
