It is suitable for translators and interpreters that need to work on complicated legal subjects and concepts and who want to expand their vocabulary and understanding of difficult legal concepts.

Description
This 90 minute session covers hundreds of terms at an advanced level - that of a Judge or a litigation attorney - as used in the courts and complex legal documentation and meetings. It describes terms used in advanced legal research and writing, presenting a systematic approach to word building and term comprehension.

This is a fast-pace, intense, session with an upbeat and lively mood, that requires full engagement on the part of the participant in terms of ACTIVE listening, individual thinking and processing of information, as well as hands-on note-taking and interactive activities. HANDS-ON exercises will also be suggested to be completed AFTER the session.

This is one more session that forms part of the bundles focusing on the progressive acquisition of skills in terminology used in legal settings, healthcare and medicine, and business and finance, and guidance on how to build better glossaries.
