những khó khăn cho người đọc, người dịch, đặc biệt cho sinh viên học tiếng Anh pháp lý. Nhiều học viên cho rằng chỉ cần học thuộc nhiều mục từ đơn và nắm vững ngữ pháp là có thể biên phiên dịch tốt mà không thấy được tầm quan trọng của các ngữ trong bài dịch. Do đó không ít trường hợp dù tìm được ý, nhớ được các từ liên quan nhưng học viên vẫn diễn đạt không trôi chảy hoặc không viết được câu suôn sẽ. Từ là yếu tố biểu ý cơ bản; ngữ pháp quy định trật tự các từ trong câu, và bộ khung của câu chính là cụm động từ làm vị ngữ. Nếu xem từ là viên gạch, tấm ngói thì cụm động từ là bức tường nâng đỡ tòa nhà. Đứng ở góc độ người học và nghiên cứu khoa học, chúng tôi mạnh dạn biên dịch quyển “ TỪ ĐIỂN MẪU CÂU LUẬT HỌC ANHVIỆT “ nhằm giúp học viên đạt được những kỹ năng cơ bản cần thiết để sử dụng ngôn ngữ Tiếng Anh pháp lý theo tiêu chuẩn quốc tế ILES (International Legal English Standard) trong các trường hợp thuyết phục đối tác,tư vấn khách hàng, đàm phán và soạn thảo hợp đồng, tự tin trong công tác biên phiên dịch và giao dịch thương mại quốc tế
