The objective of this course is to allow students to become accustomed to working in English in a legal and academic setting. The language is the central focus, whereas the law is used rather as a medium.
Since Legal English is a subspecies of legal language, it is system-specific and appears in various forms at the national, supranational, and international level. This course covers basic terminology specifically relating to International and European Law.
The following topics are covered:
- International and European legal terminology
- European Union law
- The European Convention on Human Rights
- The United Nations; human rights law
- Sources of international law.
Students will practice the following skills in Legal English: writing, speaking, reading and listening.
The course consists of six two-hour sessions.
At the end of the course students should feel more confident using basic terminology and phraseology in the areas of law covered, in both written and oral work. Students should also be able to contribute effectively to class discussions in English and be able to follow other legal courses in English.
