Such a well written book. A great resource for law students and lawyers wanting to take their language to the next level.  I really enjoyed the Figures of Speech component, and the addition of graded exercises to enhance the learning outcomes is genius!

For the lay reader as well as the law student or practitioner.  Easy to read, packed with great examples and anecdotes.  Comprehensive yet accessible, delightful to read.

Particularly insightful regarding the origins and meanings of legal phrases used today often without full appreciation of the rich complex history underlying these terms.

Reminds us without condescension of the rules of grammar that are now so often not taught to younger generations.

Sue has a unique grounding in both English literature and law, and skilfully draws links between the two to produce what is an excellent read.

Also provides an admirably cross cultural survey, observing linkages with Sanskrit and other languages.
