Features: This book is a learning reference written specifically by He Jiahong, Ph.D. in Law from Northwestern University, Professor at Renmin University of China, and Doctoral Supervisor, for the textbook Legal English he edited. The book aligns with the teaching content of Legal English (Second Edition) and is divided into twenty-two lessons covering legal systems, legal professions, legal education, judicial systems, constitutions, administrative law, criminal law, civil rights law, contract law, tort law, property law, corporate law, insurance law, commercial law, tax law, environmental protection law, family law, intellectual property law, civil procedure law, criminal procedure law, evidence rules, and WTO rules. Each lesson includes:
· Key Points and Difficulties of the Text – Addresses issues beyond the text notes to further overcome language comprehension obstacles;
· Reference Answers for Exercises – Provides accurate answers to the "Text Questions" in the exercise section, helping readers grasp the text content accurately;
· Legal Background Knowledge – Offers systematic and concise introductions to the relevant legal knowledge covered in each lesson, aiding readers in studying both legal English and legal concepts simultaneously.
This book can serve as a reference for improving learning alongside Legal English; when read independently, it can also serve as an introductory guide to understanding the U.S. judicial system and Anglo-American legal knowledge.
