An excellent advanced course in legal English

This is one of the finest ESP books I have used. The book provides not only a basic introduction to the American legal system but also a large number of advanced language exercises based on real cases and legal texts. The exercises are intellectually engaging and the presentation of language problems is thorough and honorable.
