This is no ordinary Legal English Course

So, you have a good law degree, and you have a certificate to prove your English level. You probably have IELTS, TOEFL, or one of the Cambridge exams. But so do thousands of other law graduates in your country. But, ask yourself two questions.

How many of them actually find work in law?
And, how will YOUR resume (CV) stand out from the others?

The answer is to add the knowledge and experiences that bridge the gap between the world of academia, and the reality of working in law at an international level. For example:

Do you have what employers call ‘commercial awareness’?
Have you completed a ‘virtual internship’ with a London law firm
Have you completed a course in understanding and drafting contracts in English?

If not, come and join us!

‘Legal English Plus’ is a unique combination of classes in commercial legal English, commercial awareness for young lawyers, and online resources for your continued education.

This is no ordinary legal English course. This is a complete ‘glow up’ of your law CV.

The fees for this 2-week course are £1,750.
Next course date: 7-18 July 2025

Legal English Plus is not just based in the classroom. It is important that you understand the legal culture of the UK, and there is nothing better than a trip to the Central London Criminal Court to see the barristers in action. You will also see the jury contemplating the facts of the case. After court, you are free to visit the other famous sights of London, including the Tower.

We’d also like to show you the wonders of Cambridge, with a group boating trip on the River Cam, and a tour of the world-famous King’s College with a university alumni as your guide.

Testimonials

I took your course back when I barely spoke English. Sixteen years later I am a partner at an international law firm in New York. Honestly, your course was an important step in my career. That is why I wanted to send a quick thank you note.
It was truly an excellent course. Priceless.

Overall, Cambridge Law Studio platform is an intuitive and easy to use tool. The site is well-made and elegant. During my time here, I’ve never felt lost or confused. I have also never experienced a single bug or a problem. The platform is well optimized which means that I can use it without any delay, even on my aged laptop with poor specification.

Is your level of English good enough?

This is probably the doubt we see most often from our students. Everyone worries that their level of English may not be good enough to study with us.

The quick answer is that if you have an intermediate level of English, yes, you will be able to understand your tutor and talk to your classmates about the new information you are all learning. The more complicated answer is that one of our advisors will help you test yourself and help you to reach a decision.

The truth is that commercial legal vocabulary is new for absolutely everyone. Please, don’t be too shy to start learning, because our groups learn together! Our Cambridge courses are about giving you a better career in law by showing you the vocabulary you need to understand written contracts and other important legal documents. No-one knows this before they come to us!
