法律英语

　　内容提要《法律英语》是一本法律专业英语教材，供具有大学英语三级以上英语水平的法律系学生及法律工作者使用。编写这套教材的宗旨，是使其既具有法律内容上的系统性，又在语言上由浅入深，循序渐进，具有外语教材所必备的可操作性。本教材的八个单元，简明而完整地介绍了美国法律的八个部分：导论、宪法、民事诉讼、财产、合同、票据、公司、侵权。每单元有三到六篇课文，并配有大量口笔头练习，帮助学生熟练掌握课文内容。此外，每单元还配有较多的案例阅读材料，以助学生深化对课文的理解。使用本教材可达到一举两得的效果：取得对美国的司法制度及主要的民事商事法律的初步了解，并掌握基本的法律词汇和概念的英语表述。因此，对于有志于日后从事涉外业务的法律专业的学生和法律工作者，它将是一本不可多得的理想教材。
