Features: This tutorial aims to help readers understand the "true" legal language used by "lawyers," improving their legal English proficiency and enabling them to ultimately master and skillfully apply legal English in related work and research. The materials included in the book cover various formal legal texts, such as statutes, cases, contracts, judgments, book reviews, and academic papers, and involve fields of legal linguistics and many legal disciplines, relatively new areas of knowledge. The discourse, semantic, and pragmatic structures of the texts are of medium to advanced difficulty, so the compiler has provided detailed annotations for many of them. Additionally, each lesson includes extensive exercises on legal English vocabulary, grammar, and reading comprehension. What makes it particularly distinctive is that each lesson exercise includes an introduction to legal English translation knowledge and techniques, along with related translation exercises, designed to help readers improve their translation skills in legal English.
