About the author

Index
296
English is the dominant language of international business relations, and
a good working knowledge of the language is essential for today s legal
or business professional. Written with the needs of both practitioners and
students in mind, Legal English provides a comprehensive and highly
practical approach to its subject-matter and addresses the key aspects of
the use of English in commercial legal contexts.
This third edition builds upon the success of its predecessors, but also
introduces an important innovation. Instead of being a traditional paper
textbook, this new edition combines and integrates both online and
traditional print elements.
•
The book covers the key areas of legal English usage for both written
and oral legal communication in typical legal situations. It features
expanded terminology glossaries, legal drafting troubleshooting tips,
language for negotiation and contract-drafting guidance.
•
The website contains realistic,
¡η
-depth and contextual exercises on
each area covered in the book. It is intended as a unique self-study
resource to be used in connection with the book, and is supported by
an automatic marking facility.
Rupert Haigh holds a degree in English from Cambridge University and
