यह प्रश्नपत्र हिन्दी में विधिक अभिव्यक्ति की शुद्धता और न्यायालयीन प्रलेखों के प्रारूप को परखता है। परीक्षा में अनुवाद, वाक्य-शुद्धि, विधिक शब्दावली, पत्र-लेखन तथा आदेश या अधिसूचना का प्रारूप पूछा जाता है। वादी, प्रतिवादी, अभियुक्त, अपीलार्थी, प्रत्यर्थी, शपथ-पत्र, अंतरिम आदेश, अधिकारिता, प्रकीर्ण, न्यायनिर्णयन। ‘Shall’ के लिए ‘करना होगा’ या ‘करेगा’ का प्रयोग संदर्भ से तय होता है; ‘may’ के लिए ‘कर सकेगा’ उपयुक्त है। अनावश्यक विशेषण, दोहराव और अंग्रेजी वाक्य-क्रम से बचें। एक वाक्य में एक ही मुख्य क्रिया रखें। विधिक प्रारूप में तिथि, पक्षकार का नाम और धारा सदैव एकरूपता से लिखें। अंग्रेजी वाक्य ‘The defendant is directed to deposit the decretal amount within thirty days’ का अनुवाद कीजिए। तर्क: यह आदेशात्मक वाक्य है, अतः ‘प्रतिवादी को निर्देश दिया जाता है कि वह डिक्री की राशि तीस दिन के भीतर जमा करे।’ यहाँ ‘directed’ के लिए ‘निर्देश दिया जाता है’ और ‘within’ के लिए ‘के भीतर’ आवश्यक है; ‘लगभग तीस दिन’ लिखना अर्थ बदल देगा। ‘शपथ-पत्र’ और ‘सत्यापन’ को एक मान लेना। मुहावरों का शाब्दिक अनुवाद करना; विधिक भाषा में मुहावरे कम प्रयोग करें। धारा संख्या और पक्षकार के लिंग में असंगति छोड़ना।. ‘Shall’ का अनुवाद संदर्भ के अनुसार ‘करेगा’ या ‘करना होगा’ होता है।.
