While most of the terms in english legalese are just common words with special meaning; you spend half the time learning what they mean. Just look at this list, off the top of my head:

deed - is not something someone had done, it's a contract by which something changes ownership

title - is not something written above an article, on a book or given to a person for achievement; it's a proof of ownership

justice - is not an idea, it's a judge

suit - is not a garment, it's a legal process

motion - not an action in which something moves, but a request of one side in the process
