Many just use the masculine pronouns referred to all entities and filling the blanks with "he" and "his" is acceptable and appropriate. Some writers adopt the feminine pronouns “she” and “her” as a kind of opposition to total masculine pronouns.

Sometimes the use of pronouns is balanced, for example, in one passage the judge is refered to as “he” and in another passage as “she”

Other writers set out both forms of the pronoun in a "he or she" and "him or her" kind of formulation. In some contexts these approaches may be satisfactory.

That is why some writers suggest that the reference to gendre should be avoided and gender-neutral style should be used. That means applying other grammatical forms in order to convey the idea.

 


Ways to apply gender-neutral style

 

Replace "his" with "the" or "a"

Administering justice a judge decides a case and gives his judgment.

Administering justice a judge decides a case and gives the judgment.

 

Use Third Person Plural Form “they” and “their”

A solicitor can speak for his client in lower courts.

Solicitors can speak for their clients in lower courts.

 

The use of “who” or "whose"

A business lawyer can provide expertise in finacial planning. He’ll help the client to deal with banks and trusts.

A business lawyer, who can provide expertise in finacial planning, will help the client to deal with banks and trusts.

 

Use the Passive Voice

 

At the trial the plaintiff must present his evidence of the suffered loss.

At trial the evidence of suffered loss must be presented by the plaintiff

 

Use "personally" where Appropriate

 

This liability will arise even though the owner is guilty of no wrongful act himself.

This liability will arise even though the owner is not personally guilty of a wrongful act

 

Use a "he or she" "his or her"

 

Every lawyer has his or her unique way of doing business.

A franchisor grants the rights to use his or her trademark to a franchisee.

 

 

There are other ways to deal with the pronouns to avoid the indication of gender but no definite grammar rules to do it because gender-neutral style is more ethical than language issue.

The aim of this reference is to provide the information that will help you to understand why this or that way is applied in the materials you study.

You may keep to whatever method you choose appropriate for the context, still to do so you’re supposed to read more original texts.

 

Example

 Lawyers must diligently represent their clients. (plural noun)

 A lawyer must diligently represent that lawyer’s client. (repeat noun)

 A lawyer must diligently represent his or her client. (his or her)

 A lawyer must diligently represent clients. (omit the pronoun)

 As a lawyer, you must diligently represent your client. (second person)
