TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH LANGUAGE EDUCATION
The Spanish for the Legal Field courses cover everything the legal professional needs in the discharge of their duties, including practitioner to client communication, interaction among professionals, research and much more in the foreign language as well as cultural awareness and many other aspects of specialised communication. These courses are designed to acquaint students with the rudiments of the Spanish language and with Spanish legal vocabulary sufficient to permit legal professionals to communicate effectively with Spanish-speaking clients.
Scheduled live sessions provide human interaction with a specialist. Although attendance is not mandatory to live sessions, the participant is strongly advised to participate in order to practise and improve their Spanish.
Participants do not require any prior knowledge of Spanish to start. All the skills and knowledge will be acquired from the basic level through the intermediate and up to the advanced level at international standards.
These courses are offered to professionals working in the fields of law, such as lawyers, judges, paralegals, legal assistants, legal secretaries, patent attorneys, conflict of interest managers, compliance specialist mediators, court reporters, law students, etc, who want to expand their professional opportunities or improve the delivery of their services by learning Spanish for the legal field.
