Objectives

The aim of this course is to enable students to improve their command of legal writing in English while developing their knowledge of Anglo-Saxon law.

The various modules consist of a methodology and corrected exercises, as well as explanatory videos.

Written expression in English, as well as oral and written comprehension, are the skills developed in D.E.

This degree will be a real asset for students wishing to demonstrate their skills in written legal English, whether to apply for master's programs or to apply for positions in law firms or companies with an international reach.

This training course is the result of collaboration between academics specializing in legal English and professionals in the English-speaking legal field.
