Resumen

This work is based on the dual concept of Candlin et al’s (2002) English for Law materials bank and Jones’s (1990) information leaflet. To this end, an information leaflet model is presented and applied to a sample of eleven manuals (ten textbooks and one Legal English manual), the overall analysis of which completes the model. The selection of the manuals is synchronic and diachronic in nature in terms of Candlin et al’s (2002) and Prinsloo’s (2015) studies: it includes manuals not covered by these studies (Brieger, 2002; Krois-Lindner et al, 2008; Widdowson, 2010; Mason, 2011; Krois-Lindner & Translegal (20112); Mason, 2012 and Hewetson, 2013), manuals published after the latest included in the afore-mentioned study (Davies, 2017), and manualswritten in Spanish (Fernández & Almendárez 1994; Alejos, 2004; and Alcaraz Varó, 20076). In the light of the above, it is concluded that, on the one hand, the information leaflet is a valuable tool that complements the bank of materials as it promotes the selection of texts, documents, linguistic features of legal English, and activities; and, on the other, that Spanish publications constitute a useful complement to the range of manuals in the field of English for Law.
