To date, knowledge of English is a prerequisite for professional development in a lot of areas. In the legal field, English occupies an important place because there is a need to maintain international relations and the use of international practice. Given the above becomes a relevant application of legal terms in the English language.
English has international status; it is studied by most countries of the world. It has an analytical composition; this is expressed in the fact that the grammatical categories of parts of speech in no are expressed mainly with the help of service words.
Legal linguistics is now very actively developing and updating. It combines language and law, so its task is to ensure that there are no contradictions in their interaction. Translation of legal texts is one of the most difficult types of translation. This fact is manifested in the fact that each country has its power system that reflects the peculiarities of the history, mentality and culture of the population of a particular country.
An important role in the translation of legal terms is their stylistic colouring by professional terminology, the usefulness of special idiomatic expressions and phraseological combinations. Examples include loss by default, legal consequences, and providing for justice [1].
Compared to Ukrainian, English has a large amount of terminology to refer to legal professions. This fact is explained by the fact that in the British legal system, there is a distinction between professions by type of activity. Lesnevskaya K.V. as an example cites one of the most popular professions in the legal field in Britain as “Solicitor”. She notes that not all people understand the British legal system, so translation into Ukrainian will not give a clear understanding of this profession. A solicitor is a specialist in consulting, representing the client in courts of first instance, preparing various documents, etc. This is the same lawyer or legal consultant. Therefore, putting the word “solicitor”, you need to consider a mediocre type of activity [2].
In addition, the antiquity of the origin of English legal terms led to a high level of their integration into other languages [3, p. 295]. Based on this, there are a large number of one-root words in terminology (tax law, tax base). The absence of the need to add endings led to the merger of several words into a single whole.
English-language terminology has its own specific features, which, in turn, should have an English-language legal term, namely: such a term should be used in each document in the same context; its meaning should be understood by every lawyer in the world; the term cannot be changed depending on the area where it is used, it must be permanent. It is also important that the term is logically associated with other English legal terms.
An important difference between English legal terminologies is its accuracy and concreteness. It should not be and there is no place for inaccuracies that can change the meaning of the term for the reason that they depend on the verdict or sentence. english legal terminology
English legal terminology originated as a group of words that denote varieties of monetary fines for various crimes of the time, which were established as compensation towards the state or the plaintiff, for example: half-leod (compensation for murder) [4].
Consequently, English is the basis for communication, interaction, development and standardization in the legal field. When using legal terms in English, it is necessary to formulate the meaning of the reasoning, since inaccuracy or even the simplest mistake can break the “chain” of thoughts. For the correct use of legal topics, a lawyer must have a high level of knowledge in legal English to be truly professional in his field.
