Legal English
This is an upper-intermediate to advanced level course for learners to be able to use English in the legal profession. The course is intended to prepare candidates for the new International Legal English Certificate (ILEC) examination developed by Cambridge ESOL or can be used effectively as legal English course in general.
Since the vast majority of practicing lawyers deal with commercial law, the course focuses on the use of English for this purpose. Within the field of commercial law, a number of important topics (such as company law, contract law, intellectual property, real property law, employment law and sale of goods, to name a few) have been selected as the legal subject matter of the couse. Particular emphasis is placed on the areas of company law and contracts.
What are the aims of the course?
- To improve your ability to write common legal text types in English such as letters or memoranda
- To improve your ability to read and understand legal texts, such as legal periodicals, commercial legislations, legal correspondence and other commercial law documents
- To increase your comprehension of spoken English when it is used to speak about legal topics in meetings, presentations, interviews, discussions, etc.
- To strengthen your speaking skills ad to enable you to engage more effectively in a range of speaking situations typical of legal practice, such as client interviews or contract negotiations.

1. The analyses and production of authentic legal texts
