Description
This work combines a theoretical approach to legal translation with a practical exposition of how relevant principles may be applied to the French legal system. In two introductory chapters, the author discusses what is meant by "legal language" and goes on to decribe the techniques available for translating legal terms. The remaining chapters provide a detailed account of the French legal system.
