WHAT IS LEGAL ENGLISH and WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO LEARN?
Legal English is a unique language used in legal documents. Lawyers tend to speak and write with unique terms and idioms. This is spoken and written.
One wrong word can change the entire meaning of a legal document. Legal Words are instruments used in the Legal Profession. Other professions may have there own tools, but the law relies on words. Spoken or written.
A translation from Spanish or any language that is ever so slightly incorrect can change everything. Take for example “ taxes are due on Jan 15 or taxes are due by Jan 15”
That one pronoun now changes the terms.
Legal English plays an indispensable role in the global market place where document bind international deals.
It is well worth learning. Legal-Ease International dedicates our work to this topic.
