Recenzii
"A great book on legal English skills for lawyers, law students, and legal English trainers; full of real-life situations and practical exercises. Highly recommended."
Elisabeth Staels, President European Legal English Teachers’ Association (EULETA), Legal English trainer and consultant
"Combining language for specific purposes acquisition with much sought after real-world legal skills, which elsewhere are frequently treated cursorily or as a background or secondary topic, this new publication moves away from the traditional teaching of Legal English by 'legal theme' to place skills development right at the centre of the reader-learner’s focus. This is a highly practical resource book by two of the most dynamic and innovative instructors-materials developers in the Legal English field today with whom I have had the pleasure and privilege to work."
David Albert BEST (PhD), Lecturer in English for Legal Purposes at the Université Libre de Bruxelles and former President of EULETA (2016-2021)
"Two aspects of this well-structured and clearly written book put it ahead of the pack: its use of realistic and modern legal scenarios and the detailed and practical guidance it offers. It will be an invaluable resource for lawyers and law students who wish to improve their English language skills."
Rupert Haigh, Author of Legal English (6th edn., Routledge 2021) and the Oxford Handbook of Legal Correspondence (2006, OUP)
"Natasha Costello and Louise Kulbicki have effectively integrated deep legal knowledge and student-centered language learning pedagogy to create a work that is a rare combination in the field of legal English. Their love of law, of language teaching, and of their students shows through in all of their work and will be well appreciated by both students and teachers."
Stephen Horowitz, Professor of Legal English at Georgetown Law, Co-Host of the USLawEssentials Law & Language Podcast
"This excellent coursebook provides ideal soft-skills training in English for lawyers working in international contexts. Rather than focussing on a more traditional four-skills approach to Legal English, it concentrates on the professional skills attorneys need to best represent their clients. It has filled a long-standing gap in the market, and will provide enjoyable and effective training for practicing lawyers. Highly recommended!"
Matt Firth, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland, co-author of Introduction to International Legal English, co-founder of EULETA
"A brilliant legal English resource book suitable for class study, full of real-life insights, useful phrases, engaging roleplays and hands-on tasks."
Mgr. Kateřina Chudová, Department head, Language Centre, Faculty of Law Division, from Masaryk University
