This course was my first step in Legal English. After the graduation of the course I did not need any extra classes to pass the exam of legal English skills (Toles exam). I was satisfied with my results, as before I had not had the opportunity to use English in practice, but after the course I was able to discuss legal issues without any problem.

I liked the discussions during the classes, sometimes there was need to use improvisation and try to explain some legal terms for non-lawyers. At that moment I did not realize the importance of that skill, but today I frequently use it. The studying was very interesting and easy as the course is more about skills rather about the sole translation of the words. You study how to communicate with lawyers and explain your point of view regarding legal issues in a right manner.

The instructor is a native speaker and has great experience. Besides the knowledge of the issue, Mr. Barrett knows how to make the teaching process easier, non-stressful and interesting. Legal English became part of my everyday life. Besides writing of legal documents, I successfully use it for research purposes. Unfortunately, some translations in my native language are difficult to understand and I understand the English (original) texts better than Georgian ones.

This course helped me with gaining skills in general English language and especially in legal English. I am using gained knowledge everyday, especially, during negotiation processes and while drafting the contracts!

My favorite parts of the course were: great professor, interesting and helpful materials and constructive feedback. I would recommend this course as it gives specific knowledge in foreign language which provides the opportunity to become more successful and demanding professional The instructor is highly skilled professional, who has a high level of knowledge, can manage course successfully and has great relationship with students.

Learning legal terms is important for career, especially during globalization processes, where legal English is mostly used, as international contracts are drafted in the English language. Today it is not enough just to know general English as in business world communication process became more professional and specialized.

During the course I was engaged to learn specific legal terms from civil and administrative law, drafting legal documents, letters complaints for courts, etc. I improved the style of writing and how to transfer my opinions into the paper shorty and reasonably. My favorite part was oral arguments. it improves students or interested persons skills concerning the writing and afterwards presenting oral arguments. Helps you how to analyse the important parts of the legal text.

Instructor is very friendly, he helps students to understand better each issue, speaks slowly and concentrates to the substantive parts of the class. His experience comes from the various parts of legal environment, so he can share his working and academic experience to students.

For lawyers, legal English is an integral part of their career. Many legal materials and scholarly writings are in English concerning the academic sphere. If you are a practicing lawyer, for foreign clients, it is very important to know legal English at an advance level.
