Vocabulary Development
The vocabulary you need to read and write authentic legal documents in
English.
Grammatical Accuracy
Our courses recognise that speaking is the most important communication
skill and our trainers will constantly correct your mistakes in both legal
and general English.
The Language of Contract
Contract can be a particularly problematic area for young lawyers who are
often expected to read and draft contracts in English as part of their
employment. Studying the language of contract is central to your course and
the differences in style, vocabulary and content of contract used in the UK
and USA are analysed.
The Language of Business Law
Most of our students are commercial lawyers who need a good foundation in
this specialist area. Our language trainers have experience of working in
business law together with expertise in language training.
Negotiating
Negotiating and interviewing are two of a lawyer's most important skills. We
use the Inns of Court training videos and authentic case materials followed
by role-play activities to help you perfect your speaking in realistic
situations.
Court Visits
Visits to the Royal Courts of Justice and the Central Criminal Court in
London form an important part of your visit. With one of your trainers to
hand to answer questions we visit the civil courts (The Royal Courts of
Justice) and the world-famous criminal court, The Old Bailey.
This is a typical week in our Legal English Plus courses. We change the
timetable to suit the needs of each group. Most students use the private
study time to review and consolidate the day's work and complete work which
our trainers set. We recommend that you should try to do between one and two
hours of private study each day.

The London Trip
We consider this day in the London law courts an integral part of your
understanding of authentic legal English.
With one of your trainers on hand to answer questions, students on the Legal
English Plus course visit the civil courts (The Royal Courts of Justice) and
the world famous criminal court, The Old Bailey.
We travel to London by private bus and spend the day visiting these famous
legal institutions. The group normally has lunch together to discuss the
issues raised by the visits to the courts. Very often we end the day with a
group dinner and a night out at a west-end theatre.
