Description:

This book is designed for law students who have followed their law studies in a language other than English.
Textbooks on English Law are too detailed for those who want to understand English legal terminology rather than English Law itself. Legal dictionaries are useful, but, as the words are ordered alphabetically, terms are treated in isolation.
This book offers:
Sets of legal terminology associated with the legal system, civil procedure, EU law, tort, contract law and company law;
Text putting the terms and vocabularies into their legal context;
Case discussion questions in order to practise using the terminology;
Knowledge questions to ensure that the reader has understood the legal concepts.

Aug 31, 2009	Christine Andersen	Readable, helps understanding of the law behind the terminology, and concise enough to read a chapter as preparation for a job or 'on the go'. Also useful for reference, because the vocabularies can be consulted like a dictionary. Not indipensable if you already have good reference books, but I warmly recommend it if not.	4
