This section is for learners who need English for studying law or working with legal texts. It focuses on understanding legal reading tasks, discussing cases, and writing short, clear legal-style paragraphs. Material that was previously listed under “Specialist English (legal)” has been moved here, so it also covers client-focused language, typical legal vocabulary, and practice in explaining legal points in simple, accurate English.
Use this short introduction to get a feel for the section before choosing your next step.
