Since legal language cannot be taught or understood without context, "English for Lawyers and Law Students" essentially serves two purposes: it provides insights into selected aspects of the US legal system and familiarizes the reader with primarily American legal vocabulary and a variety of legal concepts. The content of the book is selective and not comprehensive, as the focus is on legal vocabulary rather than knowledge building. Therefore, each chapter is followed by a list of related legal terms and concepts, defining and explaining a wide range of legal terminology in English without being constrained by a German framework. Among other things, the book offers valuable insights into the US court and jury system, legal education in the USA, the legal profession, and various civil and criminal procedures. It is also a suitable reference work for law students.
