520 $a"A globalized law market necessarily implies cross-border legal communications. Whether it is a non-U.S. attorney providing legal guidance to a U.S. firm, or a U.S. client located overseas receiving that advice directly, there is a rapidly growing need for foreign legal practitioners to communicate their legal ideas in English. It is essential that their advice be communicated effectively in English so as to maintain the meaning of the words and to properly counsel their partner of client. Mistakes in translation, grammar style, and form may not only misconstrue the advice - it can lead to unwanted actions and even frustration of the guidance. This book was developed with foreign legal practitioners and law students in mind, and focuses on providing clear solutions to common errors present in their legal writing. It is designed in an accessible format with samples of legal correspondence, contracts, academic abstracts, and citations to allow the reader to obtain quick answers to their drafting questions"--Page ix.
