<h1>Legal drafting requires 'such' to reference previously specified terms with same meaning and characteristics</h1> The word 'such' in legal terminology refers to something having a particular quality or character previously specified or implied. Webster's Dictionary defines it as representing an object already particularized in unmentioned terms. In legal drafting, when 'such' is used as an adjective prefix to a noun, it indicates the draftsman intends to assign the same meaning or characteristic previously indicated, referring to something stated before. This principle applies more vigorously when both expressions using 'such' are in close proximity, with the earlier expression being defined or characterized and the latter qualified by 'such'.
