On the docket today, we look at how to explain a legal term clearly to a client without sounding overly technical or imprecise. You’ll learn a simple approach for defining legal concepts in plain English, giving useful context, and checking that the client understands what the term means in practice.

This episode is part of 4LE in 4 Minutes, a short-form series designed to teach one practical Legal English skill, phrase, or concept in just a few minutes. These shorter episodes will appear between our regular full-length episodes, which will continue every other week.
