It is an intermediate and above-level English legal language source reference for non-native under/postgraduate students of Law, International Relations, Economics and Political Science as well as legal practitioners who need to be able to understand and use the essential legal concepts and terms in the principal areas of English law.The four theoretical Chapters, explaining how the particular concepts of law operate in clear, concise language and self-explanatory visual format, are complemented by Worksheets, in which students find a variety of language and task-based exercises designed to test their ability to use and put into practice legal English knowledge and skills in both academic and professional contexts. In addition to three Appendixes, providing additional reference information that supports main material within the book, this edition includes online Audio and Video materials and is suitable for both classroom and self-study use.
