Legal language
Peter M. Tiersma.
Chicago ; London : University of Chicago Press, 2000.
Statutes, judicial opinions, contracts, deeds, and wills profoundly affect our daily lives, but their language tends to be often nearly impossible to understand. In this lively history of legal language, Peter Tiersma slices through the thicket of legalese, explaining where it comes from, why lawyers continue to cling to it, and why it doesn't have to be an inevitable feature of our legal system.
