"in such a/an ... manner ([that / as] ...)" is the most appropriate for all styles.
However, the variant "in such manner (as)" can also be found in legal styles.
Words that indicate legal style are "shall", "deem (fit)", "vested", "subchapter", "subject to", "the Code", "the Institute", and the like.
