(www.engleza-de-afaceri.ro)

I have received many requests for legal English courses, as well as many questions about the development and the syllabuses for these courses, so I would like to present some facts.

Firstly, in order to attend these courses, your level of knowledge should be at least B1, meaning pre-intermediate. If your level is pre-intermediate, you should apply for the first type of legal English courses and the textbook is Introduction to International Legal English. 
If your level is C1, meaning advanced, your textbook will be International Legal English , which is also suitable for the preparation for the International Legal English Certificate (ILEC).

If you are not sure about your level your knowledge, we offer preliminary tests, which are for free. The tests can take place at your office, if you are a legal person, or at our office, if you are an individual person. We also organize on-line courses and testing through Skype.

About the development and structure of the courses, I should mention that one of the most difficult aspect related to the legal English courses is the new vocabulary. We all the time present the new vocabulary in context and we explain the new words through examples and case studies. For example I have introduced in my previous paragraph two items, legal person and individual person. I do trust you have understood them.
I will come up with more details about the International Legal English Certificate and the development of my courses.

Engleza juridica/Legal English

Start Legal English for 300 lei a month.

Taking into account the fact that we receive many requests for legal English courses, I would like to enlarge upon the methodology of these courses. 

During the first legal English classes, new vocabulary is being introduced. These concepts pertain to the legal system, such as: the bodies of law (civil law, common law, criminal law), types of laws, types of courts, persons in court (defendant, clerk, claimant/plaintiff, advocate….), documents in court (affidavit, brief, complaint, motion…).

The new vocabulary is introduced in context and in communicative and interactive activities. I have mentioned in a previous article that the focus of the legal English courses is the new vocabulary which is first brainstormed and then practiced.

PS: legal person/s =persoana juridica
     individual person/s = persoana fizica.

Courses for the International Legal English Certificate

Many students ask me about the difficulties and the requirements for the International Legal English Certificate exam, so I am eager to clarify some aspects.

During the preparation modules we practice all the typical skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking), on which the ILEC exam is based upon.

As I have mentioned in my previous article, the focus of the courses is the new vocabulary which is carefully explained. In fact, at the beginning of each course we have a talk about the new legal concepts to be studied, concepts that I consider more difficult. If the students have to sit in an exam for becoming an authorized translator, we often translate, but paying attention to the differences between the Romanian and the Anglo-Saxon Legal Systems. For the students whose goal is to pass the ILEC exam, we do not do this because NO tasks for this exam require the translation of texts from a language into another. The tasks for this exam are based upon similar skills with the ones required for the other international exams (IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge), with the exception of the use of English task.

Next time, I will have an article about the ILEC exam.

Cursuri pentru Certificatul Internațional de Engleză Juridică

Examenul ILEC presupune susținerea de teste asemănătoare cu cele incluse în programele pentru examenele IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge (reading, writing, speaking, listening) cu excepția celui de use of English, deoarece gramatica limbii engleze nu este testată în exerciții ci în context.

La începutul fiecărui curs se introduc și se analizează termenii tehnici mai dificili din programa cursului. Dacă studenții trebuie să susțină un examen în vederea certificării ca traducători autorizați de către Ministerul de Justiție, se vor realiza și traduceri de texte. Dar studenții care se pregătesc pentru susținerea examenului ILEC nu vor efectua traduceri deoarece programa acestui examen NU include susținerea unor asemenea teste. 
Mai multe detalii despre programa și programul cursului, costuri și înscriere găsiți AICI.

Cursuri de engleza juridica

  

Pentru a participa la cursurile de engleza juridica, nivelul dumneavoastra trebuie să fie cel putin B1 (nivel mediu plus). Manualul pentru acest curs este Introduction to International Legal English. Daca nivelul dumneavoastra este C1 (avansat), manualul studiat la curs este International Legal English, care este compatibil si pregatirii in vederea sustinerii examenului pentru Certificatul International de Engleza Juridica (ILEC).

In ceea ce priveste desfasurarea cursurilor, poate cel mai dificil aspect il reprezinta asimilarea termenilor tehnici care pot crea greseli de interpretare. De aceea vocabularul nou va fi intotdeauna prezentat în context. Vor fi date exemple iar aceste cuvinte noi vor fi aprofundate in studii de caz concrete.

Pentru persoanele juridice oferim testari gratuite de plasare la sediul institutiilor respective. Pentru persoanele fizice organizam testări la sediul nostru. Organizam, de asemenea, testari si cursuri on-line prin Skype.

Mai multe informatii despre cursurile noastre si despre examenul ILEC vor fi publicate in articolele urmatoare.
