The A to Z Guide to Legal Phrases
The language used in law is changing. Many lawyers are now adopting a plain English style. But there are still legal phrases that baffle non-lawyers.
This guide is intended to help in two ways:
- it should help non-lawyers understand legal phrases; and
- it should give lawyers ideas for explaining the legal phrases that they use.
NB The guide explains ideas and concepts rather than to give strict legal definitions.
The terms and explanations are for the law in England and Wales.
