Legal English

Since I am an English major, I don't have to say the advantages. The disadvantage is that I am not familiar with the legal system. If you want to develop in the direction of legal English translation, I personally feel that you must be familiar with the law before you can master it. Therefore, the selection of legal English textbooks should fully take into account the characteristics that legal English is specialized English and China's legal system belongs to the continental law system. Stylistically speaking, it should include legal provisions, legal works, court trial and defense, judicial document writing, case analysis and so on. In terms of content and structure, it should include the analysis of the linguistic features of legal English, the Chinese-English translation skills of legal English, the comparison between common law system and civil law system, the professional introduction of British and American lawyers, the law of major departments in Britain and America, international economic and trade law and China's basic legal system.
