legal writing
This is more than essay writing, although that may be one of the contexts where the skill may be put into practice. "Composition juridique" actually describes a skill legal beagles have to acquire, that of writing in a particular way, using particular terminology and in a particular style, depending again on the specific context.

| Thank you very much for your speedy response. My research actually led me to this site, but I was wondering whether the term refers to a traditional composition or something different. |
| Thank you very much. That makes a lot of sense. |
