Legal English

by Rupert Haigh

This book offers a comprehensive overview of legal English as it is used in modern, international legal practice. It is principally aimed at legal professionals, law students, and others whose first language may not be English, but who regularly deal with legal documents written in English. It constitutes a concise and practical reference resource that will help you both to understand English legal language as it appears in contemporary written and verbal contests and to use clear, accurate English in everyday legal and business situations. The book is written in British English, but makes reference to American English standards where these depart significantly from British English.
