Series: Routledge Studies in Chinese Translation Legal Translation and Bilingual Law Drafting in Hong Kong presents a systematic account from a cross disciplinary perspective of the activities of legal translation and bilingual law drafting in the bilingual international city of Hong Kong and its interaction with Mainland China and Taiwan in the use of legal terminology.

Its primary goals are to create legal Chinese that naturally accommodates common law concepts and statutes from the English legal system and to reconcile Chinese legal

terms from the different legal systems adopted by Hong Kong, Mainland China and Taiwan.

The book is intended for scholars, researchers, teachers and students of legal translation and legal linguistics, legal translators, lawyers and legal practitioners who are engaged in translation, as well as all persons who are interested in legal language and legal translation.
