Advanced Legal English was written by an expert in Legal English self-study and is specifically designed for international lawyers and law students who want to improve their professional Legal English independently.
The book contains 60 compact self-study units covering the specialist vocabulary, legal concepts and precise use of English that international lawyers need for study and professional practice.
Each unit provides a structured and manageable study session. Clear exercises allow you to practise what you have learned, and a complete answer key is included so that you can check your own work and progress without the help of a teacher.
The emphasis throughout is on practical Legal English. You will develop your understanding of important legal vocabulary, common-law concepts, commercial terminology and the language used in authentic legal contexts.
Topics include:
Even lawyers with excellent general English can find specialist Legal English challenging. Legal terminology can have very precise meanings, and common-law systems contain concepts and vocabulary that may have no direct equivalent in other legal systems.
Advanced Legal English is designed to bridge that gap.
You can work through the book independently, at your own pace, without attending classes or finding a specialist Legal English teacher. The structured units and complete answer key give you everything you need to make independent progress.
The book also uses authentic material from professional and academic sources, including material reproduced by kind permission of the MIT Technology Review, American Bar Association, Financial Times, Royal Bank of Scotland and British Medical Journal.
Whether you are preparing for the TOLES Advanced certificate or simply want to take your professional Legal English to a higher level, Advanced Legal English gives you a structured and practical way to study independently.
