|Legal English. Rupert Haigh|

Есть книга Legal English, есть я, которой по работе часто приходится переводить юридические тексты. Одной урывочной информацией из интернетов, собранной, пока работаешь над заказом, не наешься. Пора браться за ум и серьезно учиться тому, чему нас не посчитали должным научить в университете.
