Amend & Emend

What is the precise difference between "amend" and "emend"? is it that the first one is usually more about legal issues?

thank you very much Emotion: smile
  

Top answer

Although amend alone is used in legal/legislative contexts, both are used in other situations. Emend is only rarely used, and that is usually when speaking of changing a text.
