Review
This is a much needed text on legal English. This book deserves a place on the shelf of every law teacher in the subject, and should at least be on the reading list of all first year students who need to get to grips with language issues. It has an appeal not only to AS/A2 law but also to access and first year undergraduate on part time, distance learning and full time courses. Sharon Hanson, Lecturer in Law and Religion, The School of Continuing Education, Birkbeck University of London This book fills a very important gap and will be gratefully appreciated by both students and teachers of legal English. It is an authoritative introduction to a field which is becoming more and more significant internationally. David Rowson MBE, Head of English, Bellerbys College London
