Legal English
ILEC preparation course
Our legal English course has been designed to help both students and legal practitioners develop their legal English to a point where they can survive in an international legal workplace, working in English, and pass the Cambridge International Certificate in Legal English (ILEC) – preferably at a C1 level.
The course covers a range of topics including, but not limited to, these areas of law:
- Corporate
- Business associations
- Contract
- Sale of goods
- Real property
- Debtor-creditor
- Intellectual property
- Employment
- Competition
- Environmental
- Negotiable instruments
- Secured transactions
- Aspects of international law
Students
Anyone thinking about taking the course should have some familiarity with the law and be either a student of law or a person who works with the law. For such students a C1 (advanced) level of English is needed in order to cope with the course materials.
Anyone who does not have a background in law and would like to take the course, should have a C2 (proficiency) level of English and a keen interest in the law.
