Abbreviations
Some lawyers use abbreviations in text much more than their Anglo-Saxon counterparts. As a matter of style, avoid using abbreviations in running text.Also bear in mind that Americans always use a full stop after an abbreviation, while the British frequently do not. Your spell check program will help you sort this out in any given case.
Do not abbreviate inter alia in English and avoid using it altogether in texts which are not purely legal.
