ENGLISH FOR LAWYERS AND LAW STUDENTS - ASTRID T...

Since legal language can neither be taught nor understood without context  English for Lawyers
and Law Students essentially serves two purposes: It provides an insight into selected issues
of the US legal system and in doing so acquaints the reader with (primarily American) English
legal terminology and a variety of law concepts. The book's contents are selective rather than
comprehensive because the focus lies on legal vocabulary rather than knowledge building. Thus 
each chapter is followed by a list of related legal terms and concepts  whereby a wide range of
legal terminology is defined and explained in English and not forced into a German corset.
Among other issues  the book offers a valuable insight into the US trial and jury system  US
legal education  the legal profession and various legal (civil and criminal) proceedings. It is
a suitable reference book for law students as well as legal professionals and anyBartzone
interested in US law and English legal terminology. The author's main goal is to promote and
ease the reader's understanding of legal terms by contextualizing them  which should enable the
legally trained eye to realize the small but subtle differences between the (American) English
and related German terms. In addition  the book includes a great number of legal terms and
their respective translation into German.
