(May, 2012) This line is taken from the letter, written by Felix Frankfurter to Master M.Paul Claussan, Jr. In the lesson “Advice to a young man interested in going to the law”. In this letter, the author advises the young man to forget all about any technical preparation for studying law.

Hence the author makes it clear that a prospective lawyer-should prepare himself for a truly liberal education. Scanned with anScanner4 2.

This is taken from the lesson ‘The language of the law’ by Urban A. Lavery. The author explains that the usage of words by the lawyer to argue a legal points is the subject of16 English +1 many people. The words used by lawyers confuse the lay, men. The author adds that this is due to the fact that they have been trained SO, and also due to the work they are called upon to do. Even if the lawyers confuse others by their words, the author says, they are the last resource of the common man in case of legal remedy. Annotate the following “Why is it that the lawyer, who thinks and speaks King’s English better than his fellows, falls below them when he writes it? This is taken from “The language of the law” by Urban A. Lavery. The author says that most of the lawy good English, but when they write, their Englis! Their writings confuse the ordinary man.

The lawyers, even in the period of Shakespeare, were able to express his cases intelligently. They were good in speaking good English even in the age of Shakespeare, but poor in writing. 4, Annotate the following For it is an ancient charge that the lawyer, as compared to other writers, is prolix and muddy in his literary style and is unduly given to the overuse of words. This is taken from the lesson ‘The language of the law’. The author Urban A. Lavery says that people from every walks of life complain that the lawyers’ writings are confus- ing and they use more words even to explain a simple thing. Their language is rather confusing and it is difficult to read. The lawyers lose their mastery of words when they write and their judicial opinions are familiar for prolixity. 5. Annotate the following Moreover, he who undertakes the task is likely to be marked down as an egoist for his pains; he runs the risk of being called a pedantic preacher. The author, Urban A. Lavery, in his paper titled ‘The language of the law’, explains that the person who under- takes the task of teaching writing is considered as an ego- ist. The job of teaching writing, especially writing legal docu- ‘Seannad ith CamcannerEnglish . | aL t and boring. The person may be consig, — nts, is difficul = as a pedantic preacher. So, the author stresses the ° see fact that teaching any person of law writing legal documents is not an easy task. Annotate the following There are books on writing poetry, there are books on writ. ing prose, there are books on writing scientific English, on t writing orations, on writing plays, on writing every kind of English except (so far as | know) on writing legal English. The author, Urban A. Lavery, in his paper “The language of the law” says that the lawyers are not well-versed in writ- ing legal documents that are easy to read. In explaining his Points by stressing the need for learning to write good legal documents. For teaching or leaming good legal documents, that are easy to read, there is not even a single book for a Teady reference. The author asks the lawyers to read good grammar books of English before writing a legal document. ‘Thus he stresses the need for a good book on writing legal English.

Here, he Quotes the words of William Scanned with anScannerLesson - 2 19 Caxton. Caxton felt that, even in those days, the communi- cation between people of reputation was not clear and easy to understand. He was ashamed of the fact that not even great clerks did not write for an easy understanding. Thus the people who drafted laws in those days did not justify their job of writing legal documents. 8. Annotate the following “With proviso and additions and many times of a sudden penned or corrected by men of none or very little judgment in the law”. This is taken from the lesson written by Urban A.Lavery. The author explains the reason for the prolixity in the writ- ings of lawyers. The people who draft laws write the laws but it is corrected by the people who know nothing about law. So, the additions and deletions and the afterthought corrections while drafting laws, make them difficult to read. 9. Annotate the following This matter of drafting laws is really a large part of our sub- ject and it may well concern our thoughts. In his paper ‘The language of the law’ Urban A.Lavery explains that-the writings of lawyers are not easily under- stood. He adds that this is due to the fact the drafting law occupies major portion of writings of lawyers. So, they use guarded words and write cautiously, Hence their style of Scanned with anScannet10. 11. Les: writing and form of words differ from the writings of othe — people.

Annotate the following Yet, Strangely enough, itis in this matter of writing laws tha ihe lawyer offen reaches and surpasses the limits of human In the lesson ‘The language of the law’ Urban A.Laven Points out the defects in the style of writings. Lawyers con. fuse other people by writing long-winded and complex sen. tences. The laymen who read these sentences are not able to understand them. The author Says that the lawyer often reaches the limit of human Capacity of understanding the laws drafted by some eminent lawyers. - 13 Annotate the following For laws, like the Poor, are not always with us, they are above us and around us and almost reach within us. This line is taken from the lesson ‘The language of the law’, by Urban A. Lavery. Lawyers are famous for writing long sentences without a full stop. They use as many words 8 possible to draft a law and the use of many words con fuses us. He compared it with the poor man who is not with Us, but above us and around us. The poor is everywhere ‘Seannad ith CamcannerLesson - 2 12. 13. 21 and can not be understood. Hence the laws are not clear to read and so the laymen are not able to follow them. Annotate the following It is notorious that English writers seldom look into a gram- mar or composition book. This sentence is taken from the lesson ‘The language of the law’ by Urban A. Lavery. The author says that law- yers often consult their law books. But they never consult a good grammar book or a composition. He advised them to consult a good grammar book before drafting laws or legal documents. Since they consult only the law books written many years ago, their style of writing and the form of words are not clear to the ordinary people. Annotate the following Both words seem to have been in fairly common use three hundred years ago. In his paper ‘The language of the law’, the author Ur- ban A. Lavery quotes from the Shakespeare drama ‘Hamelt'. From this quotation he has taken two words ‘quiddity’ and ‘quillet’, and. says that these two words have been in use . three hundred years ago. ‘Quiddity’ explains the nicety of lawyers in arguing his case, and ‘quibble’ says about their argument about something unimportant.

Lavery in his paper on ‘The oa guage of the law’ quotes professor a nee This professor discussed the subject of prolixity in detail. He advised the lawyers not to quote the ten commandments before the audience in the court of law. He added that the lawyers should not bore the audience with what they knew already. Annotate the following Another chief defect in the writing of lawyers is the fact that they use circumlocution rather than, blunt-speech. This line is taken from ‘The language of the law’ by Ur. banA. Lavery. The author, while pointing out the defects in the writing of lawyers, says that lawyers write their legal documents using a roundabout way. They never use a straight approach to explain a legal point using minimum number of words. The use of circumlocution confuses the reader, and this leads to misunderstanding. So, circumlo- Cution is one of the chief defects in the writings of lawyers. Annotate the following Like charity, they cover a multitude of sins; and hence find frequent use. The author Urban A, Lavery in his Paper ‘The language Of the law’ explains the reason for the con fusion in under Scanned with anScannetLesson - 2 25 standing the writings of lawyers. The words ‘case’, ‘instance’ or ‘character’ finds frequent use in the writings of the law- yers. He says that, like charity these words cover a multi- tude of sins and so they find frequent use. Hence the rep- etition of these words in the legal documents confuses the reader and so the readers are not able to understand them. tO OK IK ‘Seannad ith Camcanneroo YY OUSITIS, Annotations 3rd lesson Annotate the followingLesson - 3 33 coughed nervously, but soon he understood the stillness of the court and stopped coughing.
