The book comprehensively describes the theory and practice of legal translation. The semantic, pragmatic, and textual properties of Polish and English legal discourse are the starting point for the analysis of contracts and other documents most often used in economic transactions, regulatory acts, and legal acts of the European Union. The theoretical foundations of legal translation in an interdisciplinary and intercultural perspective complement the basic principles of legal translation, thus confirming the thesis of the autonomy of legal translation.

Terminological differences as well as stylistic and textual conventions in the compared legal systems and legal cultures are richly illustrated with practical examples, contrastive analyses, and graphic materials (tables and drawings). The book is intended for students of linguistic and philological studies with a translation specialization, future translators of legal texts, aspirants to the profession of sworn translator, and all those interested in legal and judicial translation, as well as teaching legal translation and specialized language, lawyers working in an international environment or performing their work on the basis of translations of legal texts and documents.
