Jezik engleskih zakona: praktični vodič za studente anglistike i studente prava knjiga je namijenjena studentima anglistike i studentima prava koji su zainteresirani za oblast pravnog engleskog i koji se žele upoznati s najtipičnijim jezičkim osobinama jezika engleskih zakona. Publikacija se sastoji od pet (5) poglavlja. Nakon Predgovora i Uvoda, u prvom poglavlju se govori o pravnom engleskom iz ugla razu mijevanja osnova britanskog zakonodavstva, vrsta pravnih akata, unutrašnje organizacije teksta zakona te lingvističkih osobina pravnog engleskog nekad i sad. U drugom poglavlju se detaljno govori o nomotehnici i unutrašnjoj organizaciji teksta zakona. U trećem poglavlju je riječ o vokabularu jezika engleskih zakona, pri čemu se detaljno razmatraju samo najfrekventnije vrste riječi i njihova značenja. U četvrtom poglavlju, govori se o frazama kao gradivnim elementima zakonodavnog teksta, a završni dio je posvećen funkcionalnoj analizi rečenica prema vrstama odredbi, s posebnim osvrtom na distribuciju aktivnih i pasivnih rečenica i važnost upotrebe jasnog i nedvosmislenog jezika koji treba biti razumljiv ne samo pravnicima nego i svim građanima.
