Abstract: English for Law 2022 – A toolkit for discourse and genre-based approaches to ESP language is the revised edition of the earlier textbook English for Law 2021. This book provides a useful tool for the study of the theoretical and practical topic areas of law that constitute the traditional core of Anglo-American Law studies. It also provides a practical tool for the study of texts of legal language as they originate from theory-informed perspectives on discourse and genre analysis. Handy, bulleted, templated text and flow charts with fully integrated references provide students with a readable exposition of the theoretical and practical topics through the medium of English. Theory-informed perspectives on discourse and genre analysis, although written about in greater detail elsewhere, are explained in straightforward, easy-to-read language in an attempt to help law students find the best ways to use them for their own academic and professional development and skills. The book is an intermediate (B1/2) to advanced (C1/2) level English legal language source reference for non-native under/postgraduate students of Law, International Relations, Economics and Political Science as well as legal practitioners who need to be able to use English in academic or professional legal contexts.
