Basic Legal English

Abstract

This book has been written to assist law students in learning and becoming more familiar with the English language in a legal context. In this way, this publication offers law students stimulating and enjoyable instruction designed to progressively enhance relevant and meaningful communication skills in oral and written legal English. Such a task-based approach will enable students to optimise academic and professional effectiveness and offer them a valuable source for academic and professional development. Legal English provides students with the opportunity to build up their language skills in a professional context through units. The exercises provided in this book are suitable to both self-study and group study in a classroom. Students will benefit from pro-active skill-based exercises that involve the use of texts to develop a working knowledge of legal practice while improving their ability to use legal English.
