Introduction To English For Law

Description

Based on the history of its development, the distinctiveness of Legal English stems from the influence of the use of English on French Law and from the absorption of Latin. Some terms in Legal English which when compared to General English seem unusual include: inter alia, de facto, ne, bill, the Act, contempt of court, enter into contract, hereof, the parties hereto, whereas, and others. How can we know and recognize Legal English? This book is prepared with the hope that it can be useful for the development of English and legal skills, especially for students of the Faculty of Law.
