About This Legal English Book
Your writing is often the first and last impression you will leave in a professional interaction. While mastering it can open doors and make your path to success smoother, ignoring it can close doors and ruin potential opportunities for you. Your writing is too important to mess up when discussing legal and business matters.
In the legal world, different levels of communication take place, each one requiring different styles and approaches. For example, drafting contracts does not require the same approach as writing an email or an opinion. This book will help you not only write more professionally by understanding the nuts and bolts of English within legal contexts, but it will also help you decide when and how to use each tool.
“Know your context as well as your audience.”
Like everything in life, not all writing is created equal. The same piece of writing can be a game-changing asset or a major liability, depending on when, where, and how we deploy it. We must always pay attention to context.
When you approach a piece of writing in a legal setting, the first thing to do is to decide exactly what you want from the exchange and what the context is. This is particularly important because you don’t have the benefit of body language or facial expressions when you write. People also tend to forget verbal exchanges more readily, but the written word is powerful.“The pen is “mightier than the sword…” – Edward Bulwer-Lytton
and people will judge you based on how you use your pen.Master Legal English for Lawyers: English Writing, Grammar & Punctuation for Law, provides a structured framework under which lawyers, law students, and other law professionals can significantly improve their knowledge of English to become more confident and effective writers.
You will be taken through the language structures that tend to create the most problems in the real-world and encouraged to review them through highly targeted grammar exercises, which focus on developing, not only your grammar skills, but also your competence and confidence in international legal communication.
The last section of this book, contains access to a large selection of legal templates to guide you through drafting contracts, letters, affidavits and many other documents. It will be an invaluable resource for your studies and career in the legal arena.

Fundamental Dishonesty and QOCS in Personal Injury Proceedings: Law and Practice
Dishonest claims and dishonest claimants (or at least allegedly dishonest claims and claimants) are by no means a novel phenomenon in personal injury claims; nor is the insurance industry’s desire to identify and expose such claims and such individuals. However, the legal framework surrounding allegations of dishonesty, the frequency with which they are made, and (at least in part) the reasoning and impetus behind making them, has taken on a different complexion following the introduction of the concept of ‘fundamental dishonesty’ into personal injury litigation.It is no exaggeration to say that for every practitioner involved in personal injury claims, a comprehensive understanding of the notion of ‘fundamental dishonesty’, both as it relates to Qualified One Way Costs Shifting (“QOCS”) and as it relates to s. 57 of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015, is absolutely essential. It is simply not possible to carry on practice in this area of the law without an intimate working knowledge of these principles and how they apply in real terms.
Since ‘fundamental dishonesty’ first arrived on the scene on the 1st April 2013 as an exception to the QOCS regime, the concept has continued to develop and expand in its reach and application. Most importantly the term has been adopted within s. 57 of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015; a significant piece of legislation representing a fundamental change to the law as it stood following the Supreme Court’s decision in Summers v Fairclough Homes.
Written with both claimant and defendant practitioners in mind, this book seeks to consider what it actually means to be ‘fundamentally dishonest’; to identify the relevant Civil Procedure Rules in play; to look at the costs consequences of a finding of ‘fundamental dishonesty’; to trace the origins of s. 57 and consider the wording and effect of the statutory provision; to discuss the principles expounded in the most relevant cases; to analyse the procedures and processes to be adopted when making or defending allegations of ‘fundamental dishonesty’, including how and when an application for a finding can and should be made; and to provide helpful insight and commentary from a practical perspective.

A Practical Guide to Prison Injury Claims
This book is intended to give practitioners an idea as to how the prison system works, and how to build a personal injury claim in circumstances that can be very challenging indeed. It is concerned mainly with injury claims brought by both prisoners and the people who work in prisons.Claims by prisoners frequently rely on different causes of action, such as negligence, trespass to the person, misfeasance in public office and human rights.
As a number of reports and court judgments on the prison system have shown, prisons can be highly secretive places, cut off from the outside world, where abuse and corruption can flourish unchecked. It is generally accepted by the courts that prisoners are highly vulnerable people, who require a high degree of protection.
