Legal English is a professional language. This means thata good command of ordinary English does not make astudent automatically proficient in legal English. Manyforeign law students on English language programmesexperience problems when suddenly all their lectures,textbooks, discussions and written work have to be inEnglish. A lack of familiarity with legal English canseriously impede their progress. And a command of legalEnglish is not just a desirable academic skill. It has becomean absolute ‘must’ for today’s legal professionals workingin internationally orientated law firms.This book is designed for law students who have followedtheir law studies in a language other than English.Textbooks on English law are too detailed for those whowant to understand English legal terminology rather thanEnglish law itself.
