Why Phrasal Verbs Matter in Legal English

Phrasal verbs — combinations of verbs with prepositions or adverbs (like carry out, set aside, hand down) — often appear in legal documents, judgments, and discussions. They give legal English its distinctive rhythm and nuance. For example, understanding the difference between put forward a claim and bring about a result can change how a legal argument is interpreted.

However, most general English resources fail to explain these expressions in the context of legal work. That’s where Phrasal Verbs for Legal English steps in.
