Legal Language & General English

Every discipline has to develop its own typical jargon. Law has also, over the years, developed its technical jargon. // Dr. Madhav Menon has aptly pointed out that the major defect in legal education in India is the failure to recognise law as an important valuable tool for the socio-economic development of the society ... It is necessary to approach law as a discipline which helps to understand and solve the problem of development. // The Bar Council of India has prescribed Legal Language and General English as a compulsory paper in the Law course. Accordingly, the University of Mumbai came out with a syllabus for the subject. This revised edition attempts to help the students and the teachers in the subject though this book is primarily based on the material in McMillan's "Law and Language" by Bhatnagar.
