内容概要

新版《当代法律英语》由四位从事法律英语教学多年的教师共同完成，内容涉及各法律部门，并且不局限于特定的国别法（如美国法）。课文附有mp3格式的录音材料。除了贴近时代脉搏和强调专业英语的实际运用外（如普通法判例阅读技巧、法律资料检索及研究技巧、反垃圾邮件的法律规则、WTO法律规则、涉及美国总统克林顿弹劾案的国会辩论材料、国际人权法等），她延续了原《现代法律英语》朴实清新的的传统。

章节摘录

A thousand years ago the only sources of law were the basic dictates of humanity and localcustoms. After the Norman Conquest of 1066 the Royal judges attempted to apply a common law tothe whole country. The law was based partly on the Norman law. They brought with them fromFrance and partly on English customs which they found to be widespread or 'general'The creation of this common law, however, was strictly on an ad hoc basis, each problembeing settled as it arose. No one actually sat down to compile a list of the laws. How then werepeople to know what was a crime, or in the event of a dispute between citizens, what were therespective rights of each citizen? Indeed, how are they to know these things now?The is answer two-fold.Firstly, a small number of very old legal textbooks, compiled from the twelfth centuryonwards, have survived into the present day.Secondly, and very much more important, there is the doctrine of judicial precedent.Stated simply, this means that in their work of settling disputes, judges are guided by thedecisions of judges in earlier similar cases. So, if a case which is to be tried today is similar to acase tried last week, its result is likely to be the same. In this way a body of legal principles hasbeen built up, which may be discovered by examining the judgments in all cases tried to date. Forthis reason ' precedent' is often referred to as ' case-law' or as stare decisis.It is sometimes said that in reaching his decision a judge is merely declaring what the commonlaw has always been. But where a judge has to make a decision on a point of law which has neverarisen before in any court, this view seems a little unrealistic, and the judge appears actually tobe creating law——hence the expression 'judge-made law' for judicial precedent.When a judge simply applies to the facts of one particular case a legal rule previouslyenunciated in an earlier trial, his decision is known as a declaratory precedent, because itdeclares existing law. On the other hand, if the case is unlike any previous one, so that it iswithout precedent, then the judge must make up his own mind what the common law is or shouldbe.……

•   内容上不局限于某一部门法、国别法或者大陆法英美法，对于普通法律英语学习很有帮助。另外还配有MP3,书和MP3质量都不错。推荐！
•   我有一个朋友和我一样购买这本书，他是在亚马逊，她的比我便宜1毛钱，但是她的货速度很慢，近一个星期，而我的就3天到货，虽然时间不是我想象的那么好，但是对比起来，还是当当好！！
•   对于此书的一点看法：编排涉及的部门法相当全面，从法制史到国内法再到国际法，民法、刑法都有了，国际方面的法律也涵盖了。说也奇怪，国内的法律英语书的编者编的书都没有配套mp3音频，MP3的质量也不错，至少不是中国人读的。这套书难能可贵就在于，它有配套音频。又因为它涉及的部门法广，所以可以很好地提高咱们的法律英语多题材方面听力，推荐给大家~~~
•   喜欢这书才下定决心买下的
