Objectives
By the end of the course the students should feel comfortable and confident about discussing different kinds of current or topical legal issues requiring a multi-faceted acquaintance with the vocabulary/terminology of the field and the various linguistic strategies employed in legal language in general. The aim of the course is to expand on the students' existing command of legal English by introducing a variety of texts and topics dealing with current issues they will discuss in class, and to build their confidence in using legal English by offering a platform of up-to-date, relevant material and topics to choose from.
