《实用法律英语》的主要特点是每个单元围绕一类法种展开，每单元的第一篇课文介绍该法的法律概要，第二篇为案例分析，第三篇是法律故事。文章选材的标准是语言规范地道，概念准确专业，分析有理有据，故事典型有趣。不同于其他法律英语教材对法律知识全面系统的介绍，《实用法律英语》侧重介绍法律主要概念，法律词汇、法律术语、法律条文分散于案例分析、法律故事、课后练习以及补充材料之中。本教材既具备了法律教材的特点，适合法律专业的学生使用，同时又具有普通英语教材的特点，符合广大学生学习英语的习惯。在课后习题的设计上，《实用法律英语》努力将法律知识与语言知识有机结合在一起，尽量让学生不离开自己的专业就能学英语，在学英语的过程中促进专业水平的提高，发挥专业知识学好专业英语，学好专业英语为专业服务，真正体现“实用为主，够用为度”的原则。
