LEGAL REDUNDANCY
One focus of redundancy is coupled synonyms, to quote Mellinkoff’s term:
A long habit of coupling synonyms persists in American legal usage, e.g. authorize and empower, null and void, true and correct. The habit is compounded of antiquated literary style, the mixture of languages we now call English, the lawyer’s gamble on venial repetition against mortal omission, and a misplaced reliance on the precision of what has endured.
