Learn how to read and understand English-language case law without needing perfect English. This practical course teaches a simple, repeatable method for identifying the key facts, issues, decisions, and reasoning in judicial opinions — using real case examples.

This is the first course in our Legal English program. We will examine several fields of law and learn the related legal terms. The course will also introduce you to the Common Law legal system, used in England and the United States.

This course is for students who purchased Elemental Legal English GOLD. This bundle includes the standard ELE course, as well as additional Webinars and 1-on-1 tutoring sessions.

This course will introduce you to Legal English! We will learn some of the terms through video lessons, discuss a case precedent, and practice the new terms with flashcards and a quiz! You will also be able to download a Lexicon sheet with these Legal English terms.
