The complete legal english online course

This course is intended primarily for non-native English language speakers either studying law or working in some capacity (lawyers, paralegals, etc.) in the legal field. It introduces students (or provides a good review for those already with some knowledge) to key vocabulary, concepts, collocations and prepositions in some of the most important areas of law. It can also be a good introduction to the world of law for those with no legal background whatsoever (whether native or non-native English speakers).

Some of the key areas of law covered throughout the 15 video-lessons include: Contracts; Business and Company; Property (both Intellectual and Real Estate); Legal Procedure (Civil and Criminal) and Litigation, among others. The course also includes several sessions on development of practical professional skills (in legal setting) such as email writing and negotiating.

A final exam testing understanding of all areas of law covered as well as a Glossary of key terms outlined are also provided at the end of the course.

Each lesson is divided into 4 parts: i) a video that introduces the student to the fundamental language in the field of law studied; ii) a video script for those who want to see all the contents in writing with key terminology highlighted in bold; iii) a series of questions that check the understanding of the contents of the video; iv) a “workbook” with practical exercises that make it necessary to use the fundamental concepts introduced through the video and finally v) answer key.
