Doesn't sound legal but sometimes legal terms are not in 'legalese'.

The document is legal, it does not mean the experssion is has to be strictly legal.

It's a Talmudic expression originally, and is used in contexts which require counting days as 24-hour periods (such as with regard to the laws of salting meat) and not counting days as the elapse of sunsets (as in the laws of mourning).
The term has been adopted by modern Hebrew legalese, as have many Talmudic expressions.
