Upcoming Seminars:
LEGAL ENGLISH AND LEGAL WRITING
July 9-20, 2012
The Legal English seminar exposes foreign legal practitioners and law students
to English legal terminology and usage through an overview of the U.S. legal
system, contract law, and commercial law. In addition to learning a broad
range of legal terminology, participants benefit from an introduction to the
legal reasoning process in the U.S. legal system, helping them to apply the
terms and concepts as they learn them. Participants in this seminar will
develop the advanced skills they need to succeed in a multi-jurisdictional
legal practice. The language and reasoning skills that they develop are useful
not only for working with clients, firms and organizations in the United
States, but also for understanding the logic behind U.S. legal practice and
applying U.S. legal reasoning in their own practice.
