法律英语LEC参考书单
LEC考试卷一复习方法
本人报考了12月份的LEC考试，复习已经有三个月之久了，刚拿到教材时还真是不知从何学起，尤其是卷一的美国部门法。
后来在学习的过程中慢慢的摸索到了一些学习方法，跟备考的朋友们分享一下吧，也期待大家发表意见。
一、教材第一部分教材第一章是法律英语基础，包括法律英语发展史、法律英语特点、法律英语术语和规则、法律文件引注等内容。
第一卷中常用的法律术语解释问题占有较大分值，这部分试题的形式类似于英译英，即给出一个常用法律术语，选项中有一项是对该术语的正确理解。
考生需对美国各部分法的常用词汇有正确的理解，包括一些常用的拉丁文。
二、教材第二部分第二章美国法律体系，包括法院体系、陪审团制度、对抗制度、上诉法院、上诉法官，法院判决和判例摘要等联邦政府（哥伦比亚特区）和每一个州都有自己的法院系统。
主要的联邦法院由三个不同级别的法院组成：区域法院、上诉法院和美国最高法院。
它们也被称为宪法第三款法院，因为它们是依据美国宪法的第三条所创建。
除这些普遍管辖的法院之外，一些特别的联邦法院也存在，比如破产法院和税务法院。
除了特殊的联邦法院以外，区域法院是联邦系统的审判法院。
当事人首先把他们的争议提交到区域法院并且提供证人和提交证据。
在很多案件中，当事人可以要求陪审团进行审判。
大多数案件是由区域法院的法官独任审判，尽管有一些类型的案件是由三个法官组成的合议庭审判。
如果当事人对于区域法院的判决不服，他们可以就这个判决上诉到联邦上诉法院。
在全国一共有十三个。
此外，联邦上诉法院，也听取来自一些特殊法院的上诉，例如国际贸易法院、或者是来自联邦特区法院的一些专门问题，比如专利法问题。
上诉法院并不进行新的审判，它通过先前区域法院呈堂的证据来进行判决。
由原告和被告要提交书面摘要给法院来解释为什么要支持或者推翻区域法院的判决。
上诉法院通常允许当事人双方在法庭面前进行口头辩论。
上诉法院主要是通过三位法官组成的合议庭作出的。
重要的案件要通过巡回法院的全体法官听审并且作出合议。
LEC学习材料-合同法
合同法CONTRACTSIn law, a contract is a binding legal agreement that is enforceable in a court of law or by binding arbitration. That is to say, a contract is an exchange of promises with a specific remedy for breach. Agreement is said to be reached when an offer capable of immediate acceptance is met with a "mirror image" acceptance (i.e., an unqualified acceptance). The parties must have the necessary capacity to contract and the contract must not be either trifling, indeterminate, impossible, or illegal. Breach of contract is recognized by the law and remedies can be provided.As long as the good or service provided is legal, any oral agreement between two parties can constitute a binding legal contract. The practical limitation to this, however, is that only parties to a written agreement have material evidence (the written contract itself) to prove the actual terms uttered at the time the agreement was struck. In daily life, most contracts can be and are made orally, such as purchasing a book or a sandwich. Sometimes written contracts are required by either the parties, or by statutory law within various jurisdiction for certain types of agreement, for example when buying a house or land.Contract formationIn common-law systems, the five key requirements for the creation of a contract are:1. offer and acceptance (agreement)2. consideration3. an intention to create legal relations4. legal capacity5. formalitiesOffer and acceptance analysis is a traditional approach in contract law used to determine whether an agreement exists between two parties. As a contract is an agreement, an offer is an indication by one person (the "offeror") to another (the "offeree") of the offeror's willingness to enter into a contract on certain terms without further negotiations. A contract is said to come into existence when acceptance of an offer (agreement to the terms in it) has been communicated to the offeror by the offeree.Treitel defines an offer as "an expression of willingness to contract on certain terms, made with the intention that it shall become binding as soon as it is accepted by the person to whom it isaddressed", the "offeree". An offer is a statement of the terms on which the offeror is willing to be bound.The "expression" referred to in the definition may take different forms, such as a letter, newspaper, fax, email and even conduct, as long as it communicates the basis on which the offeror is prepared to contract.Whether two parties have an agreement or a valid offer is an issue which is determined by the court using the Objective test (Smith v. Hughes). Therefore the "intention" referred to in the definition is objectively judged by the courts. In the English case of Smith v. Hughes the court emphasised that the important thing is not a party's real intentions but how a reasonable person would view the situation. This is due mainly to common sense as each party would not wish to breach his side of the contract if it would make him or her culpable to damages, it would especially be contrary to the principle of certainty and clarity in commercial contract and the topic of mistake and how it affects the contract. As a minimum requirement the conditions for an offer should include at least the following 4 conditions: Delivery date, price, terms of payment that includes the date of payment and detail description of the item on offer including a fair description of the condition or type ofservice. Without one of the minimum requirements of condition an offer of sale is not seen as a legal offer but rather seen as an advertisement.Acceptance is a final and unqualified expression of assent to the terms of an offer. It is no defense to an action based on a contract for the defendant to claim that he had not intended to be bound by the agreement, if his conduct demonstrated that he had.Rules of acceptanceThere are several rules dealing with the communication of acceptance:•The acceptance must be communicated: see Powell v Lee (1908) Prior to acceptance, an offer may be withdrawn.•An exception exists in the case of unilateral contracts, in which the offeror makes an offer to the world which can be accepted by some act. A classic instance of this is the case ofCarlill v. Carbolic Smoke Ball Co. [1892] 2 Q.B. 484 in which an offer was made to pay £100 to anyone who having boughtthe offeror's product and used it in accordance with the instructions nonetheless contracted influenza. The plaintiff did so and the court ordered payment of the £100. Heractions accepted the offer - there was no need to communicate acceptance. Typical cases of unilateral offers are advertisements of rewards (e.g., for the return of a lost dog).•An offer can only be accepted by the offeree, that is, the person to whom the offer is made.•An offeree is not usually bound if another person accepts the offer on his behalf without his authorization, the exceptions to which are found in the law of agency, where an agent may have apparent or ostensible authority, or the usual authority of an agent in the particular market, even if the principal did not realize what the extent of this authority was, and someone on whose behalf an offer has been purportedly accepted it may also ratify the contract within a reasonable time, binding both parties.•It may be implied from the construction of the contract that the offeror has dispensed with the requirement of communication of acceptance (called waiver of communication - which is generally implied in unilateral contracts): see also Re Selectmove Ltd [1994] BCC 349.•If the offer specifies a method of acceptance (such as by post or fax), acceptance must be by a method that is no lesseffective from the offeror's point of view than the method specified. The exact method prescribed may have to be used in some cases but probably only where the offeror has used very explicit words such as "by registered post, and by that method only": see Yates Building Co. Ltd v. R.J. Pulleyn & Sons (York) Ltd (1975) 119 Sol. Jo. 370.•Silence cannot be construed as acceptance: see Felthouse v.Bindley (1862) 142 ER 1037.•However, acceptance may be inferred from conduct.Vitiating FactorsThere are the factors affecting the validity of an otherwise effective contract. They include mistakes, misrepresentation, duress, undue influence and illegality.DischargeOnce it is determined that a party is under an immediate duty to perform, the duty to perform must be discharged. A contract may be discharged in one of the following ways:·By performance·By tender of performance·By frustration·By operation of law·By occurrence of condition subsequent·By illegality·By rescission·By novation·By cancellation·By release·By substituted contract·By accord and satisfaction·By account stated·By lapse·By effect of running of statute of limitationsBreach of contract is a legal concept in which a binding agreement or bargained-for exchange is not honored by one or more of the parties to the contract by non-performance orinterference with the other party's performance. If the party does not fulfill his contractual promise, or has given information to the other party that he will not perform his duty as mentioned in the contract or if by his action and conduct he seems to be unable to perform the contract, he is said to breach the contract.Remedies for Breach of Contract•Damages, which may include:o Compensatory damageso Punitive damageso Incidental damageso Liquidated damageso Nominal damages•Coercive reliefo Specific performanceo Injunctionso Restitutiono Account of profits【版权声明】《合同法CONTRACTS》的版权属于法律英语证书（LEC）全国统一考试委员会所有。

比较好的法律英语教材
比较好的法律英语教材：【1】美国法律英语——在法律语境中使用语言，世界图书出版社，是外国人写的，有中文译文，感觉这本书的中译文比普通的法律英语教程中译本要地道些。
【2】美国法精要系列教材（Nutshell坚果壳系列），法律出版社影印本，共22本，我用过其中的《法律谈判》、《国际商事交易》、《统一商法典》，感觉很不错，语言简练、内容精当。
【3】伊纽曼系列法律教材，中信出版社影印本，这一系列教材内容厚实、很详细、价格也有点昂贵。
感觉不好美国法精要系列的好。
【4】影印版法学基础系列，武汉大学出版社，这套教材最突出的特点是价格便宜，想不到目前还有10块钱左右的书可买，而且还是法律书籍！另一个特点是有配套的案例教材，不过配套的案例教材太过于简明了，原案的面貌变得粗线条。
不过法律基础系列对了解英国法律还是很不错的。
【5】法律英语核心教程，对外经贸大学出版社，我没仔细看这套教材，个人感觉不好，可能是因为编得内容太杂，“诸法合体”，只能略窥一斑，而不能见全身，甚至是有点断章取义。
【6】法学专业英语教程，中国人民大学出版社，共三本，好像这套书不好买。
作为入门教材还行。
【7】法律英语——中英双语法律文书制作，陶博（美国）著，复旦大学出版社。
【8】法律文本与法律翻译，李克兴、张兴红著，中国对外翻译出版公司。
这本和【7】，想学法律翻译的人应该看看。
【9】涉外法律经济英语，陈庆柏著，法律出版社。
这本书有点杂。
还有一些原版的美国案例汇编，如合同法、公司法等，书很厚，也很好，不过国内是没得买的，因此不列明了。
此外还有一些，一时想不起来。
以后添上。
法律英语翻译的工具书：法律英语翻译的工具书，市面上有很多，但良莠不齐，许多法律英语词典很有问题。
因此，只列最重要的几本。
【1】元照英美法词典，法律出版社。
我强烈推荐这一本词典，这本书有一个传奇的故事，书做得很精致，词条翻译得也很地道、很精湛、很详细。
我认为他是目前国内唯一一本可以称得上法律词典的词典。
法律英语考试LEC考试美国法基础知识
法律英语考试LEC考试美国法基础知识Sources of lawIn the United States， the law is derived from four sources. These four sources are constitutional law，statutory law，administrative regulations， and the common law （which includes case law）。
The most important source of law is the United States Constitution. All other law falls under， and is subordinate to，that document. No law may contradict the Constitution. For example， if Congress enacts a statute that conflicts with the Constitution，the Supreme Court may find that law unconstitutional， and declare it invalid.Notably， a statute does not disappear automatically merely because it has been found unconstitutional； it must be deleted by a subsequent statute. Many federal and state statutes have remained on the books for decades after they were ruled to be unconstitutional. However， under the principle of stare decisis，no sensible lower court will enforce an unconstitutional statute，and any court that does so will be reversed by the Supreme Court. Conversely， any court that refuses to enforce a constitutional statute （where such constitutionality has been expresslyestablished in prior cases） will risk reversal by the Supreme Court.。
