随着“一带一路”倡议和全球经济一体化的持续推进，社会对“外语+法律”“法律+外语”等复合型涉外人才的需求日益增加，培养既懂外语又懂法律的人才也成为我国一些高校（尤其是专业院校）新型人才培养的新举措，有条件的院校在课程设置上专门增加了《法律英语》《法律英语写作》《法律翻译》等课程。在此背景下，收集整理国内外最新法律英语资料，并编写适合于我国当代大学所需，能反映出时代气息，融法律知识、法律术语、案例分析为一体的《新编法律英语高级教程》，成为编写课题组一年来的共同实践和追求。本教程是为法学各专业学生及英语专业学生在学习完《大学英语》或《基础英语》后进一步学习法律英语知识而编写的，旨在通过这本教材的实践，帮助学生掌握法律英语的基础词汇及基本法律常识，了解国外法律制度及法学研究的最新动向，并通过教学实践获得运用法律英语的基本技能，形成熟练阅读理解国外法学文献并对法律基础知识进行英汉互译的能力。
全书各单元素材均选自近几年出版的国外原版法律书籍及期刊的原文。题材结合法律各专业特点，力求内容新颖丰富、文章体裁多样。主课文是每个单元的核心，在课时分配上应当有所侧重。辅课文则是与主课文相配合的文章，教师可根据授课情况有选择地进行讲解。本教程广泛听取了一些法学专家和从事法律英语教学的同行的意见，通过注释对课文中的相关法律知识进行了补充和调整。
