Good ESL Legal English books

0 Hi, 02br
02br
00I'm new to the forum and it looks very professional. I'm an English Lecturer in Israel and have a law degree as well. I'm starting to teach a legal English course next week. Do you have any recommendations (besides the book "American Legal English" by U of Michagan Press) for good teaching books? 02br

00Thanks, 02br

0English Grammar in Use (by Raymond Murphy) is more for general English than Legal English.0-

Noa, for anyone teaching Legal English, the book "Plain English for Lawyers" by Richard Wydick is a must. It's from Carolina Academic Press and is now in its fourth or fifth edition. It's a small book and has many exercises with answers (great for in-class group work), and has additional exercises that can be taken home and turned in for teacher evaluation as the answers are in the Teacher's Man

Hi,
There is the book Legal Terminology by Pearson Education, this is much better than an American one. They also have Legal English book, which is not perfect, but OK. For law for Contract and Company Law check Chartrand English for Contract and Company Law! The Best. Published by Sweet and Maxwell.

Hello,

This is the first time I have looked at the Forum and I found your letter of interest.

I too have a law degree, from England, and I am teaching English in Israel. I mainly teach highschool students, but more recently I have also taught a number of lawyer friends who have asked me for help.

I was wondering whether there are courses available in the Jerusa

0Yes, Cambridge University Press will be publishing a book entitled "International Legal English" in June. It is a book intended to help readers in preparing for the International Legal English Certificate (ILEC) exam which will be launched in May. From all indications this book is very good!02br
