Нормативные правовые акты РФ на английском языке

Изучение терминологии в современном мире неоспоримо, ибо терминология является связывающим звеном между различными областями знаний, также необходима для чёткого разграничения понятий. В связи со стремительным прогрессом науки и техники представляется необходимым уделять должное внимание терминологическому аппарату различных наук, в том числе юриспруденции. Терминология не стоит на месте, она постоянно развивается, расширяет свои горизонты.

Юридическая терминология является уникальным объектом, ибо используется в различных сферах. Необходимо учитывать то обстоятельство, что юридические понятия в английском и русском языках не идентичны, ибо приходится считаться не столько с самими терминами, сколько с разными правовыми системами (существуют различия между российским кодифицированным и англо-американским прецедентным правом). Нормативно-правовые акты, указанные ниже, на английском языке помогут в изучении английского языка, так и в освоении терминологии.
