This course concentrates on little words, mainly prepositions, which lawyers use in their work.

Little words can sometimes have a major impact on the meaning of a sentence.

The rule with little words is that…… there are no rules – you have to learn which combinations are correct and what they mean.

To show you why little words are important, here are two examples of little words, large errors

a) Increase the rate by 10% or to 10%? – They mean very different things!

b) An indemnity against losses arising out of any claims resulting [in / from] any damage or injury caused by a defect in the product? – One makes sense, the other doesn’t!
