Programma

The focus of the course is to learn the correct use of vocabulary and terminology of the different legal systems. Students will discuss various branches of law, study landmark cases. Legal English is not a law course and therefore, students can expect their instructor to focus on legal language and know law in general terms, rather than in detail.
